Extraocular vision in a brittle star is mediated by chromatophore movement in response to ambient light
Almost all animals can sense light, but only those with spatial vision can ‘see’. Conventionally this was restricted to animals possessing discrete visual organs (eyes), but extraocular vision could facilitate vision without eyes. Echinoderms form the focus of extraocular vision research [1–7], and...
