For more information, see Image quality created by retina is not homogenous Color vision mainly in fovea Resolution decreases in periphery Best resolution for color in the fovea Best resolution for b/w 20 parafovela

33 Questions 33 How come that we perceive such a nice and homogenous image of our surrounding? What happened to the blind-spot hole? Why do we perceive color in the periphery?

35 Filling the blind spot 35 X X X Close your left eye and fixated with the right eye the X. Which number is missing? What is the color pattern at the psotion of the missing number? The blind spot is filled with the surrounding pattern.

36 Figure and background 36 The total visual input is organized into figures and background. The Gestalt-laws describe principles how figure and ground are separated. Figures are in front, have a border, connected, things. The background is behind the figure, withour border, uninterrupted, homogenous.

37 Gestalt-laws 37 Image by MIT OpenCourseWare.

38 Perceptual categories 38 Image by MIT OpenCourseWare. Square Diamond The shapes in-between are neither square nor diamond. Our perception is organized in categories, even if the stimuli are continuos.

41 Invariance 41 simple geometrical objects are recognized independent of rotation, translation, and scale, (and other deformations) Objects in A are immediately recognized as the same shape, are different from those in B, are the same as in C despite perspective and elastic deformations, and can be depicted using different graphic elements as in D. This image is in the public domain. Source: Wikipedia.

42 Reification 42 The perceived object can contain more information as given by the sensory input. (e.g. ball in C) Mostly for spatial information. This image is in the public domain. Source: Wikipedia.

43 Multistable perception 43 This image is in the public domain. Source: Wikipedia. Necker cube Rubin's Figure / Vase Ambiguous perceptual experiences (2 figures share a common border) lead to multistable perception. The experiences pop back and forth between two or more alternative interpretations.

Dichromacy, most common Red-Green color blindness lacking or reduced long-wavelength or medium-wavelength cones (4-8% of the male population!) includes: Protanopia (rare), Deuteranopia (1% m), Protanomaly (1% m), Deuteranomaly (6% m) Monochromacy, complete inability to distinguish any colors cone monochromacy (only 1 cone type) rod monochromacy (only rods) Human Factors Color codes (Maps, Signals, etc) Image removed due to copyright restrictions.
