What determines the perceived brightness of objects? Luminance is a physical and objective measure of the intensity of light. The sensation elicited by different luminances is called brightness. However brightness is a subjective measure as it is the perceived amount of light emanating from an object. It may seem logical to expect that luminance and brightness are directly proportional and that two objects that reflect the same amount of physical light into the eye will look the same brightness

Abstract Accurate and automatic identification and authentication of users is a fundamental problem in network environments. Shared secrets such as PINs or passwords and key devices like smart cards just are not enough in some cases. What is needed is something that could verify that you are physically the person you claim to be - biometrics. Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic. Biometric technologies

2. The lens re-focuses the light that has come through the pupil‚ projecting the focused image on the retina. 3. Cells in the retina convert the light forming the image to electrical impulses‚ and the optic nerve takes the signal to the primary visual cortex of the brain. 4. The signals tell our brains about the colour‚ size and distance of the objects The Retina * The retina is very important for perceiving images * It is covered in nerve endings * It transmits signals

sites in mammalian retina where taurine transport is concentrated are‚ pigment epithelium‚ photoreceptors and neuronal amoxine cells. o In mammalian retina taurine transport is concentrated in neuronal amoxine cell and photoreceptor and pigment epithelium. It was found that taurine transport fall by 72% if the pigment epithelium was removed from choroid. In human transport of taurine across the pigment epithelia is required for maintaining electrophysiological function of retina. Taurine release

Visual Perception Lab: Size Constancy Abstract This investigation is designed to illustrate the ability of the visual system to compensate for changes in retinal image size with viewing distance‚i.e the mechanism of size constancy. The accuracy of this mechanism will be evaluated under a number of different viewing conditions and thereby investigating the various cues for judging distance. Background ‘Size constancy’ is the perception of an object as having a fixed size‚ regardless of

sits behind the colorful part of the eye known as the iris in the area known as the pupil‚ which cannot be seen unless it becomes very cloudy. This is crucial‚ because the lens plays a significant role in focusing a light on the retina at the back of the eye. The retina turns light into a neurologic signal that the brains takes and then interprets it to be vision. What cataracts do is block the light passing through the lens therefore causing visual symptoms and complaints. Where did the term cataracts

Stroop Effect (Blindsight) Stroop effect is a good project to do if one wants to know more about the eyes and brains connection. The most commonly used example is what is known as the Stroop Test‚ which compares the time needed to name colors when they are printed in an ink color that matches their name (e.g.‚ green‚ yellow‚ red‚ blue‚ brown‚ purple) with the time needed to name the same colors when they are printed in an ink color that does not match their name (e.g.‚ blue‚ red‚ purple‚ green

The Biological Approach One of the most perplexing issues in psychology is understanding the relationship between the mind and the brain. We all recognize that we have conscious awareness of our surroundings‚ and also of ourselves (self-awareness). It is this experience which has normally been described as the mind. But what is the basis of the mind? Is it the expression of a non-physical soul‚ or is it a product of physical processes within our body? Philosophers and scientists have been pondering
