1. The clinical macula is smaller in area than the anatomical macula. The clinical macula appears as a small and fuzzy dark spot and can be distinguished through the pupil by clinical observation with an ophthalmoscope. The anatomical macula is not distinguishable through an ophthalmoscope as it is defined histologically; that is in terms of having two or more layers of ganglion cells. The anatomical macula is larger and encloses the clinical macula.
3. This would be the structural characteristic about midway between the fovea and far periphery, where rods are more numerous than cones and more photoreceptors are converging on bipolar cells.
4. There are three types of cones in our retinas. These three receptors each contain a different pigment. The pigments differ slightly in their chemical properties and subsequently in their relative ability to absorb light of different wavelengths. These cones are loosely called "blue", "green", and "red" as they are supposed reflect their peak sensitivities on

In colour vision, the combination of two wavelengths can be exactly equivalent visually to a third wavelength. Such visual equivalences of stimuli that differ physically are called “metamers.” An example of a metamer in colour vision would be when the light of a wavelength that appears blue is added to one that appears yellow but the result appears white. Another example is a mixture of red and green wavelengths of light appearing yellow. Trichromacy explains metamers with its inherent idea that manipulating the three lights red, green and blue can produce any colour. Trichromacy theory supposes there are three cone types with different spectral sensitivities and that the perceived colour is determined by the cone output depending on the wavelengths of light absorbed from the image. If two physically different lights evoke the same responses in the 3 cones then the two lights will look the same (metamers). This is how trichromacy explains the existence of
Two human receptor-making genes are similar to those in other mammals. This implies that human color vision began when one of the genes in other mammals duplicated and copies specialized over time for different light sources. The switch to color vision correlates to a switch from a monochromatic forest to one with a multitude of colors in
Those of us with simple color-vision deficiency face more mundane problems” and “Because the most common form of colorblindness involves distinguishing red and green,
They are “red”. But does “red” merely mean that it is “red” or is the color much more than a pigment? Based on the piece “Onelauena”, according to Kimo Armitage red is a feeling, a symbol, and a memory all in one. It is not only a mere pigment on the object at hand, but an idea that can be instilled in the brain. Red is happiness from the memories of kickball at the park.
So the significance can have a different meaning to the audience than to the artist. As in the article by Chris Rutter titled “Color Theory Fundamentals For Digital Photography”, Rutter
The color black, white, and green. The first color I would like to discuss is black. Black is defined as the color that has no light. It can be portrayed as evil, wicked, harmful.
Frank Jackson’s argument starts by inviting the reader to imagine the following scenario: Mary is an extraordinary neuroscientist who has spent her whole life in a room that is only visible to the colors black and white. Mary is thought by a black and white monitor all the physical facts about color vision. Mary specializes in neurophysiology of vision and suppossibly acquires all the physical information there is to know about when we see tulips or the sky and to use the terms red, blue etc. Mary discovers which wavelength combinations from the sky trigger the retina.
A friend from college recently told me that she was the main target of the rumor which was circulating for months before she heard about it. The content of the gossip pertained her intimate life claiming that “she has been fucked” by a guy or more precisely specific “guy fucked her”. Although she admitted having kissed the guy on the party, she claimed that nothing else had happened and even the kiss was the result of intoxication rather than an expression of genuine interest coming from her. What was the most interesting about this gossip was the way she found out about it. She was told by the guy she has been dating recently that when he mentioned her in front of other guys, one of them immediately asked: ‘Isn’t that a girl who that guy fucked?”
The idea of local color can be found in the three locations
He was able to show us just how remarkable this aspect is and the role it plays in our imagination. Color is not just blue, yellow, red, and green, but it is the change in mood, location and
In the flashlight simulation we can see that as the white light is stripped away, the other colors show
During Beau Lotto's Ted Talk, Optical Illusions Show How we See, he discusses how the eyes detect light differently than how it actually is. His purpose for having the speech is to teach about that subject. He explains how what we see isn’t just based off of the color of an object but the illumination given off by it as well as other objects around it. So, our sensory information is essentially meaningless. We can see a physically identical object, but if it is interrupted by another form of illumination, how we see can be completely changed.
Introduction: The understanding that I had on worldviews was changed over this period of time as I soon realised that it is not just my lens that I view the world and different cultures, but that I need to have an understanding of different ways at looking through another lens. In this reflective essay, I will say what I thought I knew about witchcraft and how it changed and if it actually has changed. I will focus on stereotyping in cultures and gender as I will disagree in some aspects.
a. Vocabulary (Remember that these words should be important to text content.) Which 2 or 3 words should you stress for receptive vocabulary (keeping Tier 3 words in mind)? Briefly explain why.
If the wavelengths hit our eye at different lengths, our brain gets to decide how to interpret that color. Maybe the people who saw the colors blue and black interpreted the wavelengths differently compared to those who saw white and gold. This would explain all the confusion among peer
Research hypothesis: Contrast sensitivity will be negatively affected by cataracts shown by a decrease in luminance/Webster/Michelson/RMS contrast. This is due to the cataract clouding the lens, impeding on the pathway from the object to photoreceptors. There has been extensive discussion within VISN1101 and VISN1221 surrounding the formation of cataracts and how it affects vision. When cataracts were being discussed, visual acuity was one of the main aspects of vision being explored within the classroom. There are other specific aspects of vision such as colour sensitivity and contrast sensitivity which was not discussed in the same amount of complexity as visual acuity.
