Abstract Bipolar cells serve as the bridge cell between the photoreceptor cell and the ganglion cell that located in the INL and span from the OPL down towards the IPL of the retina. Like the photoreceptor cell it also must transduce a chemical signal in order to signal ganglion cells or amacrine cells. The transduction pathway in the bipolar cell is different from the photoreceptor transduction pathway in that there are two distinct bipolar cells that do not use photons as the trigger but instead
seems to signal in fast and transient bursts (Nieuwenhuis, Jepma, Fors, & Olivers, 2008). The Parvocellular Pathway is associated with spatial integration and temporal segregation (texture and depth perception). It consists of P-cells, retinal ganglion cells with small cell bodies. It innervates layers 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the dLGN and is known to signal in a slow sustainable manner (Nieuwenhuis, Jepma, Fors, & Olivers, 2008). Being cone dominated means that it also has an association to color perception

It transforms pressure waves into action potentials iii. After the sound is processed in the cochlea, the auditory information travels into the brain in order to be interpreted. 3. i.

I travel by BART daily to and from school, getting on at the Colma station and exiting at the Embarcadero station in San Francisco. In the eight (or so) short weeks that I have been traveling via this route, I have easily memorized my routine. Typically, I get on the train at 8:15, right in the middle of the morning commute. From entering the turnstiles at Colma to climbing the escalator out onto the street at the Embarcadero stop, I am inundated by a barrage of stimuli. My olfactory, audial
The human eye is a complex sense organ that not only allows clear vision, but also to perceive depth, size, color, and details of a stationary or moving object. As Figure 1 shows, it is made up of the eyeball and the accessory structures which are the eyelids, extraocular muscles (EOMs) and the lacrimal apparatus. The eyeball is composed of the eyeball wall and the eyeball content that includes the crystalline lens, vitreous body, and the aqueous humor. While the eyeball wall is made of three main

goes below 2.0 mm in normal lighting (pinpoint size) then there is a problem caused by a disorder known as pinpoint or miosis (also myosis). The condition is usually associated with the slow reaction of the ganglion cells compared to the cone and rod cells which are all photoreceptors. Pinpoint pupils are important indicators for diagnostics and prognostics during emergencies.

Black and Blue Analysis The public service announcement Black and Blue created by The Salvation Army is designed to bring awareness to abuse and inform victims that help is available. This image, while eye-catching to someone who has endured abuse, is also directed towards people of all ages, including technologically inclined young adults, who may have not had experience with it. The main idea of this image is to alert its viewers of the commonality of abuse, and expose how easily it can go unseen
Infants are born aware of their environment from the moment of birth. This suggests that at birth the visual and auditory systems of infants are intact and fully functional. This assignment will begin by outlining the role and function of the significant parts of an infant’s visual and auditory system. I will start with discussing the visual system and how infants are limited by the development of their visual system. I will then continue to outline the auditory system and its limitations. I will
Most of the eye is filled with a clear gel called the vitreous. Light projects through the pupil and the lens to the back of the eye. The inside lining of the eye is covered by special light-sensing cells that are collectively called the retina. The retina converts light into electrical impulses. Behind the eye, the optic nerve carries these impulses to the brain. The macula is a small extra-sensitive area within the retina that gives central vision
and gray. Cones: Retinal receptor cells that are concentrated near the center of the retina and that function in daylight or in well-lit conditions. They detect fine detail and give rise to color sensations. Optic nerve: The nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain. Blind spot: The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a "blind" spot because no receptor cells are located there. We do not see images upside down because the cells in our retina make light energy into
2.5 Capturing panorama by spatial camera equipment 2.5.1 Catadioptric Panoramas A catadioptric camera system enables us to record a full “half sphere image’’ in one shot. The word catadioptric means pertaining to or involving both the reflection and the refraction of light. A catadioptric camera system is engineered as a combination of a quadric mirror and a conventional sensor-matrix camera; see Figure 2 2. Catadioptric camera systems provide real-time and highly portable imaging capabilities
In his essay “Veridical Hallucination and Prosthetic Vision” David Lewis demonstrates through a vignette called “The Censor” why a suitable pattern of counterfactual dependence is required to for a subject to experience ‘genuine sight’. A subject’s experience of a scene has counterfactual dependence if, and only if, the subject is capable of distinguishing the scene from possible alternative scenes. If the scene were different, the subject would have a different experience. Thus, the subject’s particular
Moving Images are possibly the greatest representation and exploitation of the human visual system. In order for us to understand how moving images make sense to us we heavily rely on our ability to piece together moments in a sequential frame, often allowing us to create a lifelike representation of an inanimate object. Moving images are something we constantly see throughout our lives; from simple toys we played with as kids, to flip up books and eventually to the creation of film; things that
that is required to view nearby objects. The lens' power to refract light has diminished and the images of nearby objects are focused at a location behind the retina. On the retinal surface, where the light-detecting nerve cells are located, the image is not focused. These nerve cells thus detect a blurry image of nearby
Adventuring to the unknown Steve found a little flower, It was yellow but smelled awful. Steve wanted to destroy the flower so that way no one else had to deal with the foul stench. He walked over ready to stomp on the flower when his mysterious friend said, "You want to kill it but something seems special about this flower". Steve took a better look at the flower, "Hey kid, why are you trying to kill me?" Said the flower. Steve jumped back and watched the flower slowly turn around, "Why do you

This is what enables us to see the full spectrum of visible light from blues into the deep reds. It is evident from studies with dogs, birds, snakes and other animals that having a different number of cones, or having these cones
is made up of different types of sensory receptors. These sensory receptors include thermo-receptors (specialised heat receptors), mechanoreceptors (specialised cells that senses pressure and distortion), chemo- receptors (specialised receptors cells that converts chemical signals in action potential), and photo- rectors (specialised cells that converts light signals in to chemical signals) and so on. In this complex system there are lots of neural mechanisms or physiological mechanisms that regulate
