i've been studying the evolution of eyes and it's really wonderful and strange. it's absolutely a rabbit hole straight into the arcane heart of embodied existence. i'm currently very into things with odd numbers of eyes. Cambropachycopidae. reptiles with pineal eyes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambrop...
the head turn is really good
This is interesting and I would like to know more
there's basically just academic papers! which is too bad, i think the medial eye is so interesting to people outside those circles. i can send you links to the papers i'm reading if you want but it's pretty slim pickings.
Yeah it'd be nice to find less heavy reading on the subject, but I'll take a look (if I ever have time), thanks!
i often wonder what the embodied experience of having a pineal eye would be like and how that would change with different fidelities of eye
me too! i want to know what it's like to sense the solar meridian.
The tower eyed erbenochile trilobite always fascinates me
i love the way those look! evidently their eyes were very important because they're huge! i wish i knew what they were doing with those eyes.
