Document Summary

In the periphery, fewer rods than cones more rods than cones spaces far apart. Visual capture: our sense of vision dominates other senses. When there is simultaneous stimulation of our receptors, vision captures our attention. In a concert, if the loudspeakers are behind the heads, we still perceive the sound is coming from the singer"s head in front of us. Another example is the imax visual image may result dizziness and the sense of falling (visual capture) 2 dimensional retina, but see 3 dimensions experiment of baby perception of depth visual cliff experiment (on table with pattern, glass, ground same pattern). Infant does not crawl out onto the glass. = ability to see depth is at least partially innate. Two eyes don"t see the same thing provides a cue for depth (possibility) 3d movies two cameras placed a few cm apart to film the scene (imitate the eyes in that the images on the two cameras are slightly different)
