This lab connects to the biology course through the unit of homeostasis‚ specifically the lesson on sensations. Sensation is the conscious awareness of the stimulus. Additionally‚ a reception receives the stimulus. For the visual response of the lab‚ the photoreceptors (contain light-absorbing visual pigments) are the cones since the subject is present in light (colour). The cones detect and then covert the stimulus into an action potential. The eye obtains the physical stimulus in the form of light

I can remember when my grandmother became really sick and my mother

Haitian Sensation One of the more interesting things I’ve had to deal with in life was growing up Haitian in the 90’s/00’s. This was wayyy before it became kind of cool and folks started showing love to Haitians with everyone usually screaming out “shout out my zoes” when referring to Haitian with some not knowing what this even means. I dealt with some pretty comical and sometimes annoying things as a kid/teen so let me share some. While I did not have it rough like some other folks might

constancy from the sensation and perception tutorials. Size constancy refers to the fact that our perceptions of the size of objects are relatively constant despite the fact that the size of objects on the retina vary greatly with distance. In the experiment a photograph of several people walking on a hiking trail that extended to a perceived horizon led to the sensation of depth and distance and although the actual pixel size of the people farthest away was smaller my perception was that all of the

Philosophy of Mind In his article Sensations and Brain Processes‚ Jack Smart argues from a materialist point of view of the mind‚ namely that the brain is the source of sensory perception and the locus of conscious experience. Smart uses the term ‘nomological danglers’ to describe how mental states‚ such as sensation are traditionally considered over and above physiological explanation‚ but that his view of the mind is superior‚ because it explains away these nomological danglers.
