as my eyes were adjusting to being open I have thought a person was standing in my room. As I focused on what I thought was the person I started to realize that the shape I perceived as the person was in fact just my dresser across the room. The blob started to take the shape of a rectangle and my brain started to recognize that what I was actually looking at was my dresser. “Bottom-up processing is the sequence of events from the eye to the brain when environmental energy stimulates the…

Coby looked at the seemingly unbreakable wall of skin with complete disbelief, sitting there bewildered with the fact that he could not pass through Coby decided to see if he could bite through it, then tear it, then cut it with little to no success.
