Binocular vision

One of the things that I enjoyed most was our readings. Incarnations of Burned Children by David Foster Wallace, Lobster Night by Russell Banks, and Binocular Vision by Edith Pearlman are three short stories that impacted me the most from these stories. From Incarnations of Burned Children and Binocular Vision I learned that a story does not have to be long at all for it to be meaningful. The use of one single event can create a lot of meaning in a story. The use of sentence length can also shape a story greatly. One of the big things that I leaned from these two short stories was that you must only keep the details that are absolutely essential and necessary in order for the story to succeed. From Lobster Night I took a lot away about when and where you want to place readers in a story. You don’t always have to start from the beginning, you can place the readers right into the action. I think a lot of my writing prior to the class gave readers way too much background…

of plasticity during our lifetime, critical period plasticity being the first during our postnatal development, then comes plasticity. Critical period plasticity is a particular time frame in which the brain development is sensitive to a certain experience such as vision, and once the critical period ends there is no more plasticity occurring (Kolb and Whishaw, 270). On the contrary plasticity is also important for us because it can fix and enhance neuronal connection, especially when an…

difference by moving around experiencing new things. This concept also refers to the new born animals as well especially when they are not adapted to their surroundings very well. 3. a) Describe two binocular cues for perceiving depth, and explain how they help the brain to compute distance. b) Explain the importance of perceptual constancy. Binocular cues are used to find the distance of nearby objects. Two binocular cues for perceiving depth are the retinal disparity and the convergence…

Many diverse emotions and physical feelings were involved during my contrived experience. Before simulating monocular vision due to Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAAION), I did not anticipate the increased level of difficulty that certain normal activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) would have on my day. My experience consisted of an eye-patch covering up my left eye for 12 hours. Some of the activities I found to be the more…

Go to: http://sites.sinauer.com/wolfe4e/wa03.02.html Read the introduction and instructions for the “3.2 Foveal Acuity” activity. Choose "Sequential" and do 15 trials for each of the 7 positions (foveated plus 1-6). Afterward, cut and paste your results for each of the 7 positions below: Correct! Results so far: Fovea: 14/15 = 93% ******************** 1: 13/15 = 87% ****************** 2: 14/15 = 93% ******************** 3: 15/15 = 100% ********************* 4: 15/15…

Prey need peripheral vision to survive, they need it to be able to see predators so they won’t get eaten. Peripheral vision is a wide horizontal range of vision found on prey that ranges from 290-310 degrees, leaving them with a 50 degree blind spot, with horses as one of the only exceptions because they have a 350 degree horizontal range. but they do not have the depth perception and focus that predators might have, because of predators tunnel vision. You can tell if they are predators or prey…

(6) You can change your dominant eye by putting a blindfold over your dominant eye and use your least dominant eye so it will strengthen. So, if you see someone wearing an eye patch there might be nothing wrong with he/she they might just be trying to change their dominant eye.(11) Crossed hand eye dominance will strengthen over time due to use.(10) If you are right eye dominant and a right handed shooter your left eye might strengthen because it will be the one looking at the rim.(10) Many…

along are a quality pair of binoculars. Quality binoculars will assist the hunter in two very important ways. 1) The enjoyment of the outdoor experience will be greatly increased. Binoculars will help the hunter to spot the game he is hunting and also to view the scenery that he might have missed otherwise. 2) The hunter's chances for a successful hunt will be much higher with a pair of quality binoculars. Hunters rely on high quality optics to mean the difference of not getting that trophy…

Indeed, even the competing stimuli are switched rapidly between the two eyes in humans, binocular rivalry still produced its normal slow alternation of perceptions. The discovered persistence of gradually dynamical rivalrous perceptions when stimuli are switched powerfully suggests that binocular rivalry occurs as a consequence of alternate stimulus representations compete within the visual pathway. Binocular rivalry thus affords an opportunity to study how the visual system decides what people…

Chicken Run (2000) was also a reminded of never losing sight of your visions and goals. After several planned attempts of trying to escape Tweedy’s Egg Farm, Ginger the main character, is placed in solitary confinement for trying to escape her semi-organized group to freedom. Even though all the chickens want to escape, Ginger is the one most passionate about the cause. She believes there is more over the gate and has visions that every chicken deserves have the right to be free. The story…
