Document Summary
Way that cognitive agent takes energy or stimuli and turn it into representations. Transforming one kind of entity (light) into memory. Echolocation: knowing where things are by bouncing sound waves off walls or objects. Kinesthetics: knowing where your body positioned within the world. Optical illusion point out how the mind works. We perceive lines to be of different length when they are going different ways. Hearing damage is not perceived right away but later on in life. Motion sickness is actually when body thinks it has been poisoned. Intromission: light reflected off objects enters the eye. Lens focuses image so that it goes back to retina. Only fovea on retina has very good vision. Don"t notice it because we assume whatever was there is still there. Rods and cone send neuron signals towards brain that there is a stimuli. Rods are not great with color but are great with movement. Cones: three colors correspond to three wavelengths of light.
