Vision
Sensory System
The eye
Exactly what we sense from our __________________________________
Perceptual System
The brain
How we put together what we sense into a
__________________________________
The Visual Sensory System
Light is made of waves
__________________________________
Different colors have different wavelengths
__________________________________
Different amplitudes lead to differences in brightness
Visible spectrum
__________________________________
ROY G BIV
Short wavelengths are near __________________________________
Long wavelengths are near red and orange
Properties of Light and Waves
The color of an object is determined by its abilities across two dimensions
__________________________________
__________________________________
Colors that are reflected are the colors that __________________________________
A red sweater is red because it __________________________________
wavelengths that we perceive as red
Other wavelengths would be absorbed and
__________________________________ as a color for this sweater
Properties of Light and Waves
Black is a color that __________________________________ all other colors
ie. It is the absence of reflected color
White is a color that __________________________________ all other colors
ie. It is the presence of all colors
prisms
Properties of Light and Waves
Refraction
The __________________________________ of the waves
Occurs in water
Different substances _______________________________________
The eye
Sclera
__________________________________that protects the eye and gives it shape
Cornea
Protective covering for the eye
Begins to __________________________________ and focus them
Aqueous humor
Fluid filled area behind the cornea
Provides nutrients to the __________________________________
Parts of the eye
Pupil
__________________________________ in the center of the eye
Controls the amount of light that enters
Iris
The __________________________________ that controls the
__________________________________ of the pupil
Lens
Bends to __________________________________ onto the retina
Accommodation
The process of the __________________________________ to properly
focus the image on our retina
Vitreous humor
Gives the eye its shape
__________________________________
The vitreous humor your born with is what you still have
Floaters
Debris that gathers in the vitreous humor and
__________________________________ onto the retina
Retina
Translates _____________________________________________________ our brain
can process
Concave
Object on retina is translated __________________________________
__________________________________
Rods and cones
Optic Disk/ __________________________________
Area in the retina where nerves and blood vessels exit the eye
Forms a __________________________________
__________________________________
Area in center of retina
Layers of the Retina
Four main types of visual processing neurons
Ganglion cell layer
__________________________________ and bipolar cell layer
__________________________________ cells
Visual Sensory Neurons
Photoreceptors
__________________________________
Cones
Rods and Cones
Where a sensory signal (light waves) gets changed into electrical energy
Process called __________________________________
Rods
Sensitive to __________________________________
Most of them in periphery
Cones
Sensitive to __________________________________
Most of them in fovea
Rods
Contain __________________________________
120 million in a human eye
Responsible for night vision
Very __________________________________to light
Very poor __________________________________
Cones
6 million in the human eye
Responsible for vision in bright light
__________________________________
3 different types with different pigments
Cones
Three different types
Blue, __________________________________
__________________________________, medium
Red, __________________________________
Horizontal Cells
__________________________________ from the photoreceptors
Transfer that information to __________________________________ cells
Bipolar cells
Receive input from __________________________________ cells and
__________________________________
Transmit information to amacrine cells
Contain receptive fields
_______________________________________________________ organization
Lateral inhibition
Horizontal cells that are activated by light in the
“__________________________________” area
__________________________________the bipolar cell
Amacrine Cells
Respond to __________________________________ in the visual environment
Connect bipolar cells, __________________________________ cells, and other
amacrine cells
Ganglion cells
Receive input from __________________________________ and amacrine cells
Same center-surround receptive fields found in bipolar cells
On-center bipolar fields connect to __________________________________ganglion
cells
Off-center bipolar fields connect to __________________________________ganglion
cells
What do receptive fields do?
On-center and off-center fields provide for greater
__________________________________
Large __________________________________surfaces don’t activate the neurons as
well as __________________________________surfaces with lines, cracks, and ends
Types of Ganglion cells
Three types
P cells: Parvocellular
M cells: Magnocellular
Non P or M cells
Pathway to the Brain
__________________________________
Group of ganglion axons exit the eye
__________________________________ (part of the tectum)
__________________________________- Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
Visual cortex- __________________________________ (MT)
Contralateral organization
Visual hemifields in space are __________________________________organized
Not contralaterally organized by the eyes
The Thalamus
The __________________________________nucleus (LGN)
6 Layers: Keep much of the information seperated
__________________________________ and
__________________________________ information go to different layers
Non P and M projections go between the other layers
Information from each eye goes to __________________________________
Displays retinotopy
Primary Visual Cortex
Located in the __________________________________ (Occipital Lobe)
Also referred to as
Striate cortex
Brodmann Area __________________________________
V1
Cortical organization of V1
Cells don’t like __________________________________!
They like __________________________________
Retinotopically organized
Simple cortical cells
Respond to edges from a specific location
__________________________________ cells
Respond to edges from a larger area than simple cells
Orientation selective
Often __________________________________ selective
Other properties of V1
Cortical __________________________________ (half of V1 is devoted to fovea)
Cells often respond to input from either eye, but with a preferred eye (“ocular
dominance”)
Ocular dominance columns
M & P pathways project to __________________________________
Response preferences are organized into columns (ocular dominance, orientation, visual
field location)
Other Visual Areas: V2, V3…
Also __________________________________ organized
__________________________________ encodes colors
Visual Pathways
2 Main pathways
__________________________________ stream
Also called the “where” stream
Processes where things are in space
__________________________________ Stream
Also called the “what” stream
Processes what things are
The “Where” Stream
Contains MT (area V5)
Visual __________________________________
Integrates with the “where” stream of the
__________________________________ in the parietal lobe to construct a full
picture of the environment
The “What” Stream
Contains the __________________________________ (FFA)
Responsible for recognition of __________________________________
Much debated
The FFA debate
__________________________________ area
Scientists argue that the FFA is not sensitive to faces, but instead is sensitive to
identification of things that we can expertly identify
We’ve all seen so many faces that we are effectively
“__________________________________”
__________________________________show increased activation when identifying
various types of birds
Greebles
Face-like
Train people about the __________________________________ and check their
activation
Problems of the visual system
Nearsightedness
Focuses image __________________________________
Can see close, not far
Farsightedness
Focuses image __________________________________
Can see far, not close
Astigmatism
__________________________________ cornea
Color processing theories
__________________________________ theory
Trichromacy
Found in the retina
__________________________________ theory
Red-green, blue-yellow, and black-white
Input from one color inhibits the other color
Found beyond the retina
Evidence from afterimages
