In a medical sense, the optic nerve terminates near the front of the brain, at the optic chiasm.
The nerve's fibers kinda cross over here, to help with perception of the picture you see. They carry on to the back of the brain and to the Visual cortex.
I presume this is where the electrodes were implanted.
