the whole point of this project is to get away from the thinking that you record something and then you process it that's not how the retina works, right? The retina is basically a bunch of neurons that if you excite them in one way, produce a certain output. And if you excite them in another way, produce another output. And the excitation is the light that comes in. It's not that the light's recorded and then processed. It doesn't work that way. Light is the excitation and the output is a response to that excitation. And that's what we want to build in a sense. So we want to censor that. Response by producing an output. That's a response to the excitation. It's not recording and then processing.
