so this is the human eye?

@zhenga1, seems so--that this is a representation of sensitivity of cones in the human eye to different wavelengths. It's worth noting though that this can vary between people.

Professor mentioned in lecture that not all animals have 3 types of cone cells. I searched it up and it turns out dogs only have two cone cells and instead of them sensing red, blue or yellow, they're tuned to violet and yellow-green. This means that dogs have less sensitivity in their green, yellow and red detection than humans. Another fun fact is that dogs have much better night vision than humans and while humans can see roughly 180 degrees horizontally, dogs can see around 250 degrees!
