Other Answers:
The occipital lobe of the brain is primarily concerned with visual perception, i.e., interpreting and understanding what you see. People who have damage to their occipital lobes can still "see" in the sense that their eyes work, but they cannot "see" and understand what it is their eyes are showing them because their brain doesn't process the information properly.
The occipital bone is the one that supports your head on your neck.
