A monocular cue to depth refers perception of motion that only relies on the perception of a single eye. Monocular cues include size: distant objects subtend smaller visual angles than near objects, grain, size, and motion parallax. However binocular cue to depth refers to perception of motion that relies on a two-eyes. Binocular cues include stereopsis, eye convergence, disparity, and yielding depth from binocular vision through exploitation of parallax. Binocular cues are important to the monocular cues due to the rise in depth they offer compared to the single eye monocular cues. Having two eyes increases an individual’s depth perception of close objects that are at two different distances.
Another speaker, Margaret Livingstone delves into the visual aspect of our senses. Livingstone mentions how artists recognize things about vision that neuroscientists are not privy to until years later. Livingstone discussed the differentiation between color and lightness, and how the two contribute differently to a work of art. Color is thought of as “comparing activity” whereas light is thought of as “summing them.” Livingstone indicates that the visual system is subdivided into a ventral system and a dorsal system. The ventral system is responsible for object recognition, face recognition, and color. The dorsal system is responsible for navigating through the environment, special organization, and emotional recognition. The ability for humans to see distance and depth is carried via our colorblind part of our visual system. As a result, Livingstone concludes that one cannot see depth and shading unless the luminance is right to convey three-dimensional.

In the editorial cartoon, Our Eyes Secure Your Safety, is dealing with giving up rights and freedoms. The cartoonist has presented the perspective that rejecting collectivism can be ineffective, which is shown by people walking around surrounded by video surveillance. The author uses irony of large eyes in the sky with big bold letters that states the quote our eyes secure individuals' safety to show the ideas presented on portraying negative notion on the subject of which is surrendering our rights and freedoms for more collective security; he/she also stresses the idea of individualism. The individualist view of a society without high government involvement was furthermore illustrated in the source by the idea of all the eyes, gloominess
My scientific concept is how sight effects balance. Balance is the equal distribution of weight. “Balance is controlled by the vestibular system, which includes the eyes, the inner ear, and other sensory systems of the body” (asha.org). The visual system interacts with the vestibular system by using the
The ‘where visual pathway’ is concerned with constructing three dimensional representations of the environment and helps our brain to navigate where things are, independently of what they are, in space in relation to itself (Mishkin & Ungerleider & Macko, 1983).... ... middle of paper ... ...

The effects of perceptual load on the occurrence of inattentional blindness were demonstrated clearly by experiment. In an experiment conducted by Finch and Lavie in 2007, participants were given identical series of central cross-targets with two arms of clearly different color (blue and green) and slightly different length. Participants were split in two groups, one performing an easy task (low load condition) and the other a harder task (high load condition). The group performing the easiest task only had to make color discrimination between the tw...
Peripheral vision is the part of vision detected by the eye that occurs at the edges of the central focal point of a person’s gaze. Generally in humans, peripheral vision is much weaker than in other species, specifically in context of differentiating color or shape. Receptor cells on the retina are much more sparse at edges of the eye as opposed to the center which therefore limits the ability to distinguish certain features. (http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/p/peripheral_vision.htm ) Normal peripheral vision extends 150 degrees laterally in one eye, or 180 with both. This occurs in a participant with ideal vision of 20/20. (http://www.visionrx.com/library/enc/enc_peripheralvision.asp )

Binocular vision is vision using both eyes that have overlapping fields of view, therefore there would be differences in what the left and right eye. Binocular vision provides important information for depth perception and binocular cues are an essential aspect of certain visual tasks.
Communication is influenced and perceived by so many different factors, and each individual who participates in communication has their own values and beliefs that will influence how they perceive certain aspects of communication. Perception is such an important aspect in regards to communication and understanding how other people communicate and the reasons why the react to communication the way they do.
There are many different Visual Perception principles in perception. The main principles are Gestalt. Gestalt is a German word meaning 'form' or 'shape'. Gestalt psychologists formulated a series of principles that describe how t...
... Furthermore there is also a process known as shape constancy that help individuals analyze the stance of objects as constant even though its images may change or alter. This can easily be compared to size constancy. Size constancy is when an individual analyze objects as having a particular size even though the distance may change. An example of this is when we know that a car can fit people inside even though it looks extremely small from far away. In addition there is also lightness constancy which may be thought as similar to shape and size constancy. Lightness constancy depends greatly on relative luminance which is the quantity of light that reflect upon an object that may alter a motion.
If it is done correctly your eyes and brain perceives the object as being in front of you. Basically it is a mind trick.
Any one given experience an organism perceives must incorporate several sensory systems, that involves numerous number of organs , that further more are comprised of millions upon millions of firing cells. Perception is not a direct mirroring of stimulus, but a complex chaotic patterns dependent on the simultaneously activity of neurons. This essay deals primarily with neurons from the optical sensory system. The outer ridge of the brain, known as the cerebral cortex begins the analysis of sensory messages. (1) Nevertheless, visual perception is possibly more widespread than one area of the cerebral cortex and like ly over various subcortical structures and number of different systems as well. (2) One of the many ways for the "perception process" to begin, is vision. Vision is dependent on the interaction between light input and the eye. The visual input is seen through lens that takes different light outside, refract and bend into points of light that focus on specific places on the retina. This light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye consists of interconnected neurons. The three diff erent types are receptor cells, bipolar cells and ganglian cells. When photoreceptors are stimulated, they change in structure of photopigments in the receptors and transduce light input into neural activity. (2) Electrical stimulus trave ls down the axon of bipolar cells to the ganglian cells. The ganglian cells are activated through nerve impulses or action potentials and travel down the optic nerve. This activity conducts along the optic nerve to the geniculate nucleus that then travels to the mid- brain. (2) Finally the firing neurons activity travels to the cortex at the back of the brain, known as the stria...
...occurring in foveal vision away from the midline however this is not visible or obvious when recognition of visual information occurs. There is an overlap at the centre of the fovea where information projects simultaneously to both hemispheres, this being consistent with the bilateral theory. On the other hand, split fovea theory is an interesting theory of fixation effects that has been inspired by previous research unconnected with split fovea theory and thus incapable of providing appropriate evidence. More recently, split fovea theory has been based on experiments conducted specifically in its support but in which fixation locations were not monitored and stimuli exceeded foveal vision. It is good to see that research in the area is beginning to improve but it is difficult to be enthusiastic about any theory when there is no compelling evidence to support it.
