Color out of Space
This type of red-green color blindness is caused by an insensitivity of cones to "red" wavelengths.
What is Protanopia?
This common cause of blindness is caused by damage to the lens.
What is cataracts?
This is the ability of connections in the brain to change as a result of experience.
What is neural plasticity?
Although my perception may misinform,
due to sensations which can be multiform,
I see her face,
in every place!
It must be something wrong with my:
What is fusiform?
Magnocellular pathways are strongly responsive to motion, and are also strongly responsive to this area of the retinas (implying a strong relationship between that perception and that area of vision).
What is the Periphery?
This is a class of perceptual clues we use to determine where objects are in space, that we can gain from even a single eye.
What are monocular clues?
This is the shape of how activity spreads through V1, starting the back of the brain and going forward in suprisingly linear paths.
What are columns?
This is the pathway taken by motion neural signals from the V1, strongly related to the magnocellular pathways in the thalamus.
What is the dorsal or pareital stream?
The rainbow can sometimes be erratic,
but we all wish it could stay more thematic,
perhaps we could lone
each other a cone,
and helps us see colors:
What is trichromatic?
Feedback systems are how we have these types of influence on our perception.
What are top-down?
This is the phenomenon by which two surfaces reflecting different amounts of light are still perceived as having the same brightness.
What is "light constancy"?
What is the opponent process theory?
What is feedback?
While our eyes, when perusing, are studious
as they follow the curves of Mercury's caduceus,
in the brain the signals amass
in the sides of the thalamus,
in the knee shaped portion, a:
What is a lateral geniculate nucleus?
Someone with a damaged ventral stream is likely to have this type of signal detection when asked to identify something that they have seen before.
What is a "miss"?
Occulomotor muscles can be useful as they tell us the extent to which our eyes must do this in order to bring an object into focus on both fovea.
What is convergence?
The preeminence of the fovea in vision is demonstrated by this outcome in which it's photoreceptors have connections to a disproportionate amount of brain-space in V1.
What is cortical magnification?
These laws and principles are examples of top-down influences on our perception that often force certain rules on our perception of ambiguous stimuli
What are "Gestalt"?
The edge of the clouds portent the forecast,
as does the flapping ends of the flag at half-mast,
we see these things clearly
consistent, not yearly,
as our eyes and brain are wired for:
What is contrast?
Because motion information activates magnocellular pathways, which involve fatter more myelinated neurons, that information is likely to be processed like this when compared to detailed or color information.
What is "faster"?
Color helps in recognition and in this ability to determine where objects start and end.
What is scene segmentation?
These are pathways of cells in the thalamus that are particularly sensitive and responsive to motion and are named for their large size (compared to other neurons).
What are magnocellular pathways?
This is the phenomenon of our perceptions of how space moves around us either by our own actions or by the movement of objects around us.
What is optic flow?
A illusion can often subvert,
or trick, or delude, or pervert,
because what is big is unclear,
close or far? Oh dear!
I'm tricked by the law from:
Who was Emmert?
Saccades are useful to promote this perceptual sensitivity of the V1, wherein we detect the end and beginning of things better than absolutes.
What is edge detection?
