Vision
• How does our body construct our conscious visual experience?
• How de we transform particles of light energy to another?
• We do this by receiving light energy and transforming it into neural messages that our brains process into what we consciously see.

The Stimulus Input- Light Energy
• What strikes are eyes IS NOT color, but rather electromagnetic energy that we perceive as color.
• The next slide shows the range from imperceptibility short waves of gamma rays to the narrow band we see as visible light, to the long waves of radio transmission and AC circuits.

Wavelength (Hue)
Hue (color) is the dimension of color determined by the wavelength of the
light.
Wavelength is the distance from the
peak of one wave to the peak of the next.
The amount of energy in light waves or
intensity, determined by a wave’s
amplitude, or height, influences the
brightness of the light

Intensity (Brightness)
Intensity Amount of energy in a
wave determined
by the amplitude. It is related to perceived
brightness.

Blue color with varying levels of intensity.As intensity increases or decreases, blue color
looks more “washed out” or “darkened.”

The Eye
![Page 11: Vision How does our body construct our conscious visual experience? How de we transform particles of light energy to another? We do this by receiving light.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649cba5503460f94982d3a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Parts of the eye
1. Cornea: Transparent tissue where light enters the eye.
2. Pupil- a small adjusting opening that allows light to pass through
3. Iris: Muscle that expands and contracts to change the size of the opening (pupil) for light.
4. Lens: Focuses the light rays on the retina.
5. Retina: Contains sensory receptors that process visual information and sends it to the brain.
![Page 12: Vision How does our body construct our conscious visual experience? How de we transform particles of light energy to another? We do this by receiving light.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649cba5503460f94982d3a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
The LensLens: Transparent
structure behind the pupil that changes
shape to focus images on the retina.
Accommodation: The process by which the eye’s lens changes shape to help focus
near or far objects on the retina.

Retina
Retina: The light-sensitive inner surface of the
eye, containing receptor rods and cones in
addition to layers of other neurons (bipolar, ganglion
cells) that process visual information.

Optic Nerve, Blind Spot & Fovea
http://www.bergen.org
Optic nerve: Carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain. Blind Spot: Point where the optic nerve leaves the eye because there are no receptor cells located there. This creates a blind spot. Fovea: Central point in the retina around which the eye’s cones cluster.
![Page 15: Vision How does our body construct our conscious visual experience? How de we transform particles of light energy to another? We do this by receiving light.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649cba5503460f94982d3a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Bipolar & Ganglion Cells
The neural signals produced in the rods and cones activate the neighboring BIPOLAR cells, which
then activate a network of GANGLION cells. The axons of ganglion cells converge to from the
OPTIC NERVE, which carries visual information to the BRAIN. Where the nerve leaves the eye, there
are no receptors; thus, the area is called the BLIND SPOT
![Page 17: Vision How does our body construct our conscious visual experience? How de we transform particles of light energy to another? We do this by receiving light.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649cba5503460f94982d3a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Test your Blind Spot
Use your textbook (E-BOOK). Close your left eye, and fixate your right eye on the
black dot. Move the page towards your eye and away from your eye. At some point the
car on the right will disappear due to a blind spot.
![Page 18: Vision How does our body construct our conscious visual experience? How de we transform particles of light energy to another? We do this by receiving light.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649cba5503460f94982d3a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Fovea, Rods and Cones • Most cones are clustered around
the retina’s point of central focus called the FOVEA, whereas the rods are concentrated in more peripheral visions of the retina. Many cones have their own bipolar cells to communicate with the visual cortex.
• Cones- enable color• Rods- enable black and white
vision• Unlike cones, rods are sensitive.
Adapting to a darkened room will take the retina approximately 20 minutes.

Visual Information Processing
Optic nerves connect to the thalamus in the middle of the brain, and the thalamus
connects to the visual cortex.

Feature Detection
Hubel and Wiesel discovered that specific features called Feature Detectors.
Examples include - respond to specific features, such as edges, angles, and
movement.

Feature Detection
• Feature detectors pass the information to higher level cells in the brain, which respond to specific visual scenes. Research has shown that in monkey brains such cells that specialize in responding to specific gazes, head angles, posture, or body movements. In may cortical areas, teams of cells supercell clusters respond to complex patters.

Visual Information Processing
Processing of several aspects of the stimulus simultaneously is called parallel processing. The brain divides a visual scene
into subdivisions such as color, depth, form and movement etc. Other brain damaged people may demonstrate blind sight by
responding to a stimulus that is not consciously perceived.

Theories of Color Vision
Trichromatic theory: Based on behavioral experiments, Helmholtz suggested that the retina
should contain three receptors that are sensitive to red, blue and green colors. An object appears to be red in color because it rejects the long wavelengths of red and because of our mental construction of the color.

• One out of every 50 people is color deficient; this is usually a male because the defect is genetically

Subtraction of Colors
If three primary colors (pigments)
are mixed, subtraction of all
wavelengths occurs and the
color black is the result.

Addition of Colors
If three primary colors (lights) are mixed, the wavelengths are added and the color
white is the result.
