Thomas A. Edison (for his work with the physiology of vision)

Thomas A. Edison made significant contributions to understanding how the human eye perceives light and vision. His work helped improve early cameras and motion pictures by studying the way images are captured and how our eyes process sequences of images. Edison explored the physiology of vision to develop devices that mimic or enhance how we see, leading to innovations in projection and imaging technology. His research laid the groundwork for understanding visual perception and influenced the development of optical devices, advancing both scientific knowledge and practical applications in visual technology.
