Final answer:

The projection of our vision back to the brain is done in a retinotopic fashion, maintaining a direct correspondence between the retina and the primary visual cortex.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our visual system is able to process and interpret the images we see in a way that is based on the location of stimuli within our visual field. This is achieved through a retinotopic representation of visual information, where there is a direct correspondence between the retina and its representation in the primary visual cortex. The concept of retinotopic mapping refers to the fact that adjacent areas on the retina correspond to adjacent areas in the visual cortex, preserving the spatial layout of the visual field.

The visual field information is inverted and reversed as it enters the visual cortex, meaning up is down, and left is right in the projection. But, the cortex processes the visual information such that our final conscious perception of the visual field is correct, with the fovea (center of gaze) mapped to a disproportionately larger area in the cortex compared to peripheral vision regions.

Thus, the correct answer for the projection of our vision back to the brain is in a retinotopic fashion. Therefore, the answer to this question is option a) retinotopic.
