is. This is very valuable as infants move around‚ because they are likely to fall and hurt themselves if they do not know how far away various objects and obstacles are. This depth and distance perception allows us to change 2D information from the retina‚ into 3D information. We achieve this by using cues such as relative size‚ texture gradients‚ and optic flow patterns. As a result of accurate depth perception‚ we can reach and pick up objects without knocking into anything. There has been much

eye are the rod cell and cone cell. Rod cells are used in dim light for coarse images and motion and are concentrated at the edge of the retina‚ while cone cells are used in daytime for sharp vision and color and are centered at the center of the retina in the fovea. Inside the retina is an optic nerve that lacks photoreceptors‚ creating a blind spot. The retina is also one of the eye’s internal chambers‚ along with the ciliary body‚ which produces vitreous humor. The eye is made of a three-layered

Visual Information Processing Roland Browne PSYCH/640 December 16‚ 2013 Visual Information Processing The human brain is capable of perceiving and interpreting information or stimuli received through the sense organs (i.e.‚ eyes‚ ears‚ nose‚ mouth‚ and skin) (Weiten‚ 1998). This ability to perceive and interpret stimulus allows the human being to make meaningful sense of the world and environment around them. However‚ even as the human being is able to perceive and interpret stimuli information

Chapter 5 Outline •Sensation is the detection of physical energy from the environment which weencode as neural signals. •When we organize and interpret our sensations‚ it is known as perception •The beginning level of sensory analysis is also known as bottom- up processing •Top-down processing is the information processing guided by higher-level mental processes‚ as when someone constructs perceptions drawing on our experienceand expectations. •Bottom up processing is sensory analysis that begins

reflected eye-shine‚ in order to detect and identify the species of animals in the dark and to send trained search dogs and search horses out at night. Historically‚ its function was regarded as simply to increase the light intensity of an image on the retina. Using eye shine to identify animals in the dark implies not only color but‚ also several other features. The color reciprocates to the type of tapetum lucidum with some distinction between species. Other features also include the distance between

important for things like depth perception‚ but occasionally it leads us astray. The cues make us think we see something that isn’t true‚ or isn’t even there. Light waves enter your eye and then enter photoreceptive cells on your retina. The image that forms on your retina is flat‚ but you see a world of shape‚ color‚ depth‚ and motion. Retinal images are flat representations on a curved surface. Most of the time‚ we perceive an accurate world of depth‚ surfaces and objects. Retinal images

Describe the five stages that comprise the process of sensory processing and the perception of information. a. Sepcific types of stimuli activate specialized receptors (light‚ soind waves‚ chemical molecule‚ pressure) and translate information into nerve impulses b. Specialized neurons break down and and analyze the specific features of the stimuli c. Numerous stumul “pieces’

In the atrophic form‚ patients may have blind spots in the center of their vision. The wet form is characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels from the choroid underneath the macula. These blood vessels leak blood and fluid into the retina‚ causing distortion of vision that makes straight lines look wavy‚ as well as blind spots and loss of central vision. They eventually scar‚ leading to permanent loss of central vision. They affect daily life in that there is struggle to do housework

Technology reported this Sunday in The Lancet that they have restored the sight of two women who are legally blind‚ by using embryonic stem cells. One patient named Mary‚ 51 years of age had macular degeneration‚ a progressive disease of the retina that affects the light-sensing cells in the central area of vision known as the macula‚ which stops working‚ and is a very common disease. 25 years old of age‚ Victoria the second patient‚ had Stargardt disease that is similar to macular degeneration
