PSYB51H3 Lecture Notes - Illusory Contours, Optic Chiasm, Necker Cube
Document Summary
Both eyes see the same thing except for the periphery. Both visual fields get projected in both eyes. See a partial crossover at nasal part of retina that crosses over at the optic chiasm. Left eye blind from left part of visual field, right part of right eye. Comes from damage to the optic chiasm. Describes the relationship between contrast and spatial frequencies. Horizontal axis = spatial frequency , measured by cpd. Vertical axis = contrast sensitivity, luminance contrast black and white: the more sensitive you are to these contrasts, the higher your sensitivity is. At a certain range of (60 cpd), at some point we are not able to resolve spatial frequencies anymore. Object perception: process that pieces things together into a cohesive 3d structure. Object recognition: associates what you perceive with what you have seen before. Connection to a specific example of a category. Ex. a house is a called a house.
