Convergence

1. In neurology, convergence is the formation of brain pathways due to the combination of nerve fibers extending from different parts of the brain into a single whole. Pathway convergence allows information from different brain regions to be integrated for complex processing and analysis.

2. In ophthalmology, convergence is the ability of the eye to turn inward and focus on objects located near it, so that a single image is obtained on both retinas. The closer the object in question is located, the greater the degree of convergence (convergence) of the eyes. Convergence is important for binocular vision and depth perception of space.

Convergence is the process of bringing together, uniting something heterogeneous into a single whole.

In neurology, convergence means the formation of brain pathways due to the combination of nerve fibers originating from different parts of the brain into a single system.

In ophthalmology, convergence is the ability of the eye to turn inward and focus on objects located nearby, so that a single image is obtained on both retinas. The closer the object in question is, the greater the degree of convergence of the eyes.

Thus, in different fields, convergence means the process of combining disparate elements into a single system to perform certain functions.

Convergence in neuroscience and ophthalmology. Very often we come across the concept of “convergence” when referring to eye movement, but we can also observe convergence that occurs as a result of a neurological process in the brain. Neuroscientists consider the convergence model to be key to studying information processing in the brain, and convergence is widely used as an example of parallel information processing. Let's take a closer look at what this is in a broader context.

Convergence is a term that describes the process by which some parts of the nervous system, neurons and/or areas of the brain perform or acquire a function similar to the functions normally associated with other parts of that system. For example, the fact that the eye can see both the left and right visual fields simultaneously explains how our brains are able to converge information from the left and right hemispheres to make a single interpretation of the world around us for each eye. Although this does not mean that they can understand the same world in the same way, it still leaves some “chance”.
