How many feet did you count on the elephant? :How many feet did you count on the elephant? The elephant picture was an optical illusion. Your eyes allowed you to see the image as they carried news of the image through the optic nerve to the cerebrum for processing. You thought about an answer and consciously typed or recorded your answer when a message was sent from the brain through motor neurons to your muscles. All of this was possible through the NERVOUS SYSTEM!
