VISION AP Psychology Ms. Desgrosellier

OBJECTIVES: SWBAT define transduction, and specify the form of energy our visual systems converts into the neural messages our brain can interpret. SWBAT describe the major structures of the eye, and explain how they guide an incoming ray of light toward the eye’s receptor cells. SWBAT contrast the two types of receptor cells in the retina, and describe the retina’s reaction to light. SWBAT discuss the different levels of processing that occur as information travels from the eye’s retina to the brain’s cortex.

VISION transduction : conversions of one form of energy into another. In sensation, the transforming of stimulus energies, such as sights, sounds, and smells, into neural impulses or brains can interpret.

THE STIMULUS INPUT: LIGHT ENERGY Light that hits our eyes is not actually in color. Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum (and it makes up only a tiny part). The spectrum ranges from gamma rays (shortest) to the long waves of radio transmission. Some organisms see different parts of the spectrum, like bees.

THE STIMULUS INPUT: LIGHT ENERGY

wavelength : the distance from the peak of one light or sound wave to the peak of the next. electromagnetic wavelengths vary from the short blips of cosmic rays to the long pulses of radio transmission. hue: the dimension of color that is determined by the wavelength of light what we know as the color names blue, green, etc.

THE STIMULUS INPUT: LIGHT ENERGY intensity : the amount of energy in a light or sound wave, which we perceive as brightness or loudness as determined by the wave’s amplitude. amplitude: the wave’s height.

THE EYE cornea: protects the eye and bends light to provide focus. pupil: the adjustable opening in the center of the eye through which light enters.

THE EYE

iris: a ring of muscle tissue that forms the colored portion of the eye around the pupil and controls the size of the pupil opening. The iris adjusts light intake by dilating and constricting in response to light intensity and even to inner emotions. The uniqueness of peoples’ irises enables iris scanning machines to confirm someone’s identity.

THE EYE

lens: the transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to help focus images on the retina. accommodation : the process by which the eye’s lens changes shape to focus near or far objects on the retina. retina: the light-sensitive inner surface of the eye, containing the receptor rods and cones plus layer of neurons that begin the processing of visual information.

THE EYE

THE RETINA Images projected on the retina are actually projected upside down. However, the retina does not read images as a whole. The receptor cells convert the light energy into neural impulses, which are then sent to the brain and constructed there into a perceived, upright image.

THE RETINA

Acuity : the sharpness of vision. Normally, the cornea and the lens focus the image of any object on the retina. nearsightedness : a condition in which nearby objects are seen more clearly than far objects because the image of near objects is focused behind the retina. farsightedness : a condition in which far-away objects are seen more clearly than near objects because the image of near objects is focused behind the retina.

NEARSIGHTEDNESS

FARSIGHTEDNESS

THE RETINA rods : retinal receptors that detect black, white and gray necessary for peripheral and twilight vision, when cones do not operate. 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.

THE RETINA 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. fovea : the central focus point in the retina, around which the eye’s cones cluster (NO RODS) Bipolar cells relay cone’s individual message to the visual cortex, which devotes a large area of input from the fovea. This retains precise information, which allows them to better detect fine detail. You pupil dilates in the dark to allow more light to reach your rods in the retina’s periphery.

THE EYE

THE RETINA

VISUAL INFORMATION PROCESSING Visual information works its way through our visual system through increasingly complex layers. It starts at the retina, then moves to the thalamus and brain’s cortex. The retina also helps encode and analyze sensory information. Info from the retina’s 130 million receptor rods and cones is received and transmitted by the million or so ganglion cells (whose axons make up the optic nerve).

VISUAL INFORMATION PROCESSING Retinal areas relay its information to the occipital lobe, specifically the visual cortex. Retinal cells are so responsive that they can be triggered by pressure.

FEATURE DETECTION Nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of the stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement. Specific cells refer to only one specific thing, like a bar at a 2 o’ clock tilt. When shown a different angle, the cell does not fire. Feature detection cells in the visual cortex pass information to other areas of the cortex where cells respond only to more complex patterns.

FEATURE DETECTION The temporal lobe area behind your right ear allows you to perceive faces. Necker cube : the image on your retina is constant, you can perceive it in two different ways that shift back and forth.
