9). Hemisphere – One half of the cerebrum. The right hemisphere recognizes patterns and three-dimensional structures (including faces) and the emotions of words. The left hemisphere deals with mathematical and logical reasoning, analysis, the interpreting sights, sounds, and sensations. The left hemisphere is active in reading, writing, and…

Our brain is divided into two main hemispheres, the left and the right. Each hemisphere is dominant in certain functions. Click either the left or the right hemisphere of the brain below and fill in the hemisphere’s appropriate functions.…
A variety of things have popped up in the twenty first century causing an abundance of supplies in stores such as Target, Best Buy, and even Staples. From the knowledgeable left brain to produce this abundance, it has made us rich (32). However the prosperity of the abundance has placed a premium on the right brain sensibilities such as beauty, spirituality, emotion (33). In this age of abundance appealing to logical and rational needs (the left brain) is insufficient; businesses need to find ways to make things pleasing to the eye or compelling to the soul (right brain) or else few will buy. With the right brain’s ability to look at the big picture, it knows when something is appealing or not and whether one should even buy the item. Abundance has freed many from the struggle of survival; however, now with abundance, that once logical need is slowly vanishing and the desire for beauty and transcendence has taken over.…

Visual Perception Discussion PSY/345 TL Cruz What is the role of attention in visual perception? Same Picture Picture A is how the eyes see the picture. Picture B is how the eyes see the picture if you turn it upside down.…
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 through all sense organs, stimuli is most often or primarily interpreted using the visual (eyes) and auditory (ears) sense organs (Anderson, 2009). However, for the purpose of this paper, the visual information process will be examined. Conditions that impair the visual information process will be analyzed, in addition to, an examination of the current trends in research that are advancing the understanding of research of visual information processing.…
One brain two sides; the left brain analysis breaking information into parts about 95% of people use the left brain to speak, write, and understand. This includes time sense and rhythm. The right side of the brain processes information by using nonverbal responses such as, pointing at objects, simple language comprehension and recognition of pattern. Lobes of the cerebral cortex are larger fissures on the surface of the cortex. The cerebral cortex is responsible for reasoning planning, mental abiliites, sense of self and motor control. This area contains mirror neurons, which becomes active when you observe someone else and then you carried out the same action.…
The cerebral cortex is “a large, deeply wrinkled sheet of neurons, or nerve cells, on the surface of the brain’s two hemispheres”. These are defined as the right and left hemispheres and make up the largest volume in the brain. The cerebral cortex controls all sensation, thought, comprehension, higher cognition, ideas, language, memory and emotion (Pinel, 2011). The hemispheres consist of four lobes, with each performing a specific function (Pinel, 2011).…
Our eyes are vital organs because they help us visualize our surroundings. But are our eyes perfect in seeing what’s right in front of us? Sadly I learned in our evolution, nature messed up at one point and gave us blind spots in our eyes. This project shows why we have these blind spots, how to discover them, and how big they are. I researched on how our eyes see things; why when one eye is closed, the other eye sometimes can’t see what’s in front of it. I also found during my research a formula that is used to estimate the size of a human eye’s blind spot. I performed an experiment using Blind Spot Test card I made to verify the existence of blind spots in my eyes. I also collected data while testing to find the size of my blind spot. I learned the size of eyes’ blind spots varies in relation to the size of the human eyes.…
Mead & Hampson (1996) developed a study involving the divided visual field paradigm and a phonological rhyme/non-rhyme task to test the speed and accurateness of either side of the brain. This study was used to investigate functional asymmetry between the left and right hemispheres in phonological processing. The research was taken out equally on 15 male and 15 females London Metropolitan University students ranging from ages 18 – 35 years old. They were all specifically chosen to be right–handed and had English as their first language thus providing a fair experiment to see whether our left hemisphere (left side of the brain) or the right hemisphere is faster and more accurate. In conclusion using the mean and standard deviation to determine our hypothesis, it was calculated that the left hemisphere had a higher mean and standard deviation score compared to the right hemisphere.…
The biggest part of the brain is cerebrum. The cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain and it controls the voluntary muscles, the ones that move when you want them to. When one is thinking hard, trying to solve a math problem or trying to figure out a video game, one is using the cerebrum. (Kidshealth, n.d.) The cerebrum is made up two sides, the left and right hemispheres. The right half of the cerebrum controls the left side of the body and the left side controls the right side. These two are connected by long neuron branches called the Corpus Callosum. Each hemisphere has four lobes; The frontal lobe is associated with reasoning, planning, movement, emotions and problem solving. The parietal lobe is associated with tactile sensory information such as pressure, touch, and pain. The temporal lobe is associated with the…
According to the Feature Theory the sensory system breaks down the stimuli it receives into various features by using different processes to process the incoming information. The Feature Integration Theory was born from this theory. The Feature Integration Theory analyses and proposes different paradigms on how people are able to identify targets among distractors after or during processing of incoming information. Findings suggest that it takes less time to identify the target if it is among dissimilar distractors.…

Perceptual set is one of the factors that can effect visual perception. Perceptual set is a predisposition to perceive stimuli in a specific way; that is ignoring some stimuli and attending closely to others. Visual perception uses perceptual set to its advantage. We usually tend to see what we want to see. An example of perceptual set was a television advertisement that I saw while overseas. It was an advertisement showing men hardworking while explaining the nice cold refreshing taste of a drink. Of course after seeing this and hearing this the immediate thing that came to my head was an ice cold beer but the advertisement was selling bottled water. By using perceptual set they were actually selling off their product, very deceiving.…
