Visual colour experience is calculated by photoreceptor neurones known as Cones. The purpose of cones is to transform different wavelengths of light into signals to simulate biological processes. Each cone confers the ability to distinguish around one hundred shades. Trichromatic organism combine Red, Green and Blue colour to achieve a total of 1003 shades. In Di-chromatic individuals the possible combinations drops a factor making a total of 10.000 possible shades.
Humans hold trichromatic vision when almost all other mammals, including dogs, are dichromatic. On other hand, Chickens, unlike humans hold four types of colour eye-receptors, making them tetra-chromat and extending their ability to perceive the colour range …show more content…
The classical understanding of sense perception in the western tradition dates from Aristotle and his work on “the nature of living things”, discussed in the treatise “De Anima”.
In an attempt to manage the cognitive data produced by the experience of the world, perception was divided into the five classical senses visus-sight, auditus-hearing, odoratus-smell, gustus-taste, and tactus-touch, mediated by their corresponding organs eye, nose, tongue, skin, and ear. Following Aristotle 's remarks, it was this relationship, with the assistance of imagination and memory that became responsible for rendering sensation as a physical and mental process. Aristotle 's “De Anima” extended its authority through the Middle Ages, influencing Arabic and Jewish natural philosophy.
This taxonomy carried an instrumental classification subjected to immediacy between bodies. Vision was considered a primary source of information followed by sound: both capable of communicating knowledge and beauty from a distance with the ability to transcend lowly sensuality. The rest of the senses, taste, smell and touch were discarded as inferior for the proximity among bodies and primitive nature, thus marginalised by aesthetics, art history and …show more content…
Haptic-Vision is a good prove for it. Furthermore, she ask for a cultural analysis, which revisit the sensory hierarchy while trying to retain the capacity for aesthetic judgement, knowledge before the new marketing of all sensory experience does it for us. At the same time, Robert Jutte, expresses his concerns about the commercialisation of the senses, and the growing needs of pleasure in post-industrial
