WHY don't we see everything upside-down?

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? -Brain makes images 'easier' to see by:
? 1- Combining the two images of the two eyes (in corpus cal osum).
? 2- Make images right-side-up (in the visual cortex).

? It does this because your brain is so USED to see things upside-down that

it eventual y adjusts to it (it's easier to flip the image than to try using

hands and legs with an upside-down world)
