What is Ganzfeld/whole field?
|
light falling on retina with no visual structure: eventually, perception is of a uniform dark gray field
|
|
What is involuntary eye movement?
|
spontaneous, unconscious unavoidable movements
|
|
What is stabilized retinal image
|
image presented through computer goggles such that image moves in such a way as to cancel out involuntary movenments
|
|
whose experiment is Stabilized retinal image
|
Ganzfeld
|
|
What happens when a stablized retinal image is produced
|
a ganzfeld-like experience: the light is still there and visual edges are present but temp blindness still results
|
|
What is version movement?
|
looking back and forth
|
|
what is saccades
|
rapid movement from one fixation point to the next
|
|
what is vergence movements
|
crossing your eyes, very slow, double vision can result if theres a problem
can be a distance cue. |
|
What are the 4 different types of vision movements?
|
version
saccades smooth pursuit vergence |
|
What is lateral?
|
side view of the eye
|
|
what is lateral inhibition
|
A)high intensity lots of lines
B)moderate medium lines c)low little amount of lines |
|
what happens if moderate and low amount of lines?
|
As B gets brighter A looks darker in comparison
|
|
What is mach bands
|
when illumination changes rapidly, a faint dark band can be seen on the dark side of the edge, and a faint light band can be seen on the light side of the edge.
|
|
What is Scotoma
|
blind spot due to damage to the visual system
|
|
What is Krauskopf's color circel experiment
|
green ring,red circle inside. Red ring stablized green reing not stable on retina. red circle disappeared. People saw a solid green disc.
|
|
What is albedo?
|
propartion of light reflected back from a surface
|
|
are surfaces generally black and white?
|
no, they just have albedo
|
|
What is albedo
|
reflects alot of light
or alittle |
|
What is lightness constancy
|
generally you're pretty good at ignoring the fact that the lightness reflected by and oject is constantly changing
|
|
What is the four different light factors?
|
Albedo
Gelb's exper Ration principle Wallach's exper |
|
What is Gelbs exper?
|
he secretly shined a lot of light on a black ( on a dark background) he made the black disk appear white
by turning off the hidden light resulted in people saying no I wrong its black then questioning themselves. |
|
What is ratio principle
|
lightness perceived depends not on amount of light reaching your eye, but rather on the ration of light from different areas.
|
|
Wallach disk eperiment
outside disk 200 then 500 Inside disk 100 then 100? 250 |
shown two rings with a circle in the middle
Goal is to match the other |
|
Do correctly match is to
|
change the middle circle to reflect the 100 units
Instead: people changed the middle to reflect the 250 units of light preserving the ration of light, rather than absolute amount. |
|
What are the 3 kinds of visual acuity ( focus )
|
Emmetropic vision
myopia hyperopia |
|
emmetropic?
|
cornea and lens work well, eyeball is the right shape
|
|
myopia
|
nearsighted: bends light too much
|
|
hyperopia
|
farsighted: bends light too little
|
|
hue
|
psychological reaction to different wavelengths
|
|
momochromatic
|
one color
|
|
achromatic
|
black white gray
|
|
substractive rule?
|
obey color mixture rule yellow and blue make green
|
|
additive
|
yellow light and blue light make white
|
|
satuarion?
|
intensity of a given hue
|
|
highly unsaturation is?
|
very light or and grey or dark
|
|
highly saturated is?
|
vivid and strong
|
|
lightness refers too?
|
overall amount of reflectance from and object something that reflects a lot of light is light, that doesn't is dark
|
|
trichromatic
|
three different cones ( cones contain color)
|
|
What are the three diff cones
|
s small wavelengths of light blue and violet
m medium green and yellow l long yellow orange red |
|
trichromatic theory
|
a single wave length of light will activate all 3 types of cones in diff amounts and
color sensation are produced by proportional contributions of the three cones |
|
Opponent process theory
|
some colors activate some cells an inhibit others
ex) stare then blink |
|
What are the 3 types of opponents
|
red-green
red present decrease when green present yellow blue increase with yellow, decrease with blue black -white same for light intensity not color |
|
color blindness
|
most of ten occurs when one tyoe of cone is not working
|
|
3 types of colorblindness
|
protanopia no L cone cells
Deuteranopia no M cone cells Tritanopia No S cone cells (rare) |
|
momchromacy
|
lack of 2 kinds of cone receptors (or all 3)
|
|
Doubleopponent process cell
|
see the color and sends it to the brain to transolate
|
|
color constancy
|
when the wavelength of the illumination source changes
|
|
Land' Mondrian
|
illuminating the color patches with different wavelengths changes the light coming back to the eye
|
