Visual perception

Neuroscientists generally study these illusions in an effort to disassociate the neural activity and the perception of certain stimuli (Macknick, et al, 2008). To gain a better understanding of why these illusions are successful, neuroscientists believe that by understanding which regions are affected by these illusions we can understand how they are processed…

Visual perception is a function of the eyes and brain. Humans see images as a whole rather than in parts. However, images can be broken into different visual elements: line, shape, texture, and color. Like the significance of grammar in languages, these elements are just as important in art. Together, they allow the eyes to form a complete image in the brain. Art is not only limited to paintings on canvas, they can also be three dimensional. While Jean Marende’s carving- “Initial F”- and Paul…

to identify the two-dimensional pattern. The globality of visual property relates to how high it is on the hierarchy. As Kimchi explains, “Properties at the top of the hierarchy are more global than those at the bottom, which in turn are more local” (Kimchi, 1992). However, it seem…

difficult to figure out. Overall I really enjoyed watching this video. This video really correlated to chapter four in our psychology book. The video talked a lot about perception, which in our book it really focuses on perception and how the brain sees different objects. The video helped me understand better about what perception is. They also talked about depth and size in the video. They used a golf ball and soccer ball for an example of size. Motion and change were also in the video which…

psychological neuroscience with the Indian Buddhist theories of the attention and the perception. Thompson found that the proof from the neuroscience demonstrating that focused on attention…

cross-modal vision and audition. Emotion Processing in the Visual Modality The mechanisms responsible for emotion processing have been selected over the course of generations as they confer survival advantages. Susskind, Lee, Cusi, Feiman, Grabski, and Anderson (2008)…

The article illustrates findings describing separate visual pathways within the cortex that play different roles in interpreting visual information. These visual pathways include the ventral and dorsal streams which elicit visual perception and visual control of action, respectively. An important model for these findings was patient D.F., an individual afflicted with visual form agnosia, resulting in difficulties perceiving visual objects. In determining the origin of this patient's condition,…

the composition of the eye and even more by his interconnection with brain. How the eye actually works, his structure and the function will help us in better understanding how visual light is converted into our perception. The challenge of the image transformation from first encounter of light till the final step in visual cortex is revealing the incredible ability of the eye. Unfortunately, the eye as any other organs is the subject of many physiological and anatomical conditions that can…

movie’s greatness. “The art of visual effects is the art of what you get away with, which means you really have to study a lot about how we perceive the world in order to find out how we can trick our perceptions to make something look real when it isn’t (NOVA).” Visual perception is extremely…

Summary: In the visual perception: neural processing chapter it first started talking about how neurons work and what parts make up the neurons. The neurons contain three parts which are dendrites, axon, and the axon terminal. Dendrites are the structures that receive electrical messages from other neurons. In order for neurons to work, they will have to receive stimuli through their synaptic receptors. Once the dendrites receive the electrical messages from the other neurons it will transfer it…
