I viewed Contrast/ Color "Illusions" and Seeing more than you eye does. Contrast/ Color "Illusions" was weird because, A and B looked like different shades. A looked darker than B did. Also on the colored cube middle block on one cube was a completely different shade than on the other block, but once they were compared side by side, they were the exact same color and shade. Seeing more than your eye does was also weird because, when you covered one eye and moved closer to the point, it really did disappear. Those activities were very interesting.
I learned how your brain makes an "informed guessed" about the intensity and wavelengths of light coming from points between edges. Sometimes visual tricks cause your brain to make a guess and you see things that are not actually true.
I was shocked that I saw two completely different shades of color, when they were actually the same. Also it was strange how your blind spot can make a dot, the size of a fingernail, just disappear.
I can use what I learned after reading, Seeing more than your eye does, by making sure that I check my blind spots. Blind spots are very important to check, especially when driving.
It makes me wonder if my brain misinterprets many of my surroundings. If I am not able to realize that two colors are the same, it makes me wonder how many other things my brain makes an "informed guessed".
After reading this chapter I was able to learn more about the nervous system and the endocrine system. There is more to the nervous system, than just the "nervous system", there is the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, the somatic nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic nervous system, and the parasympathetic nervous system. I also learned about the different glands such as the adrenal glands and pituitary glands, which are part of the endocrine system. It was interesting learning about these systems, their jobs, and how they affect us.
I thought it was weird that a man could live with his brain split into two. It was interesting how he was able to simultaneously draw two different shapes. It is also interesting how the right side and the left side of the brain control different actions. Like the artistic side is in the right side and speech is in the left.

The man with two brains does sound interesting and I too wonder how a man could live with his brain split in two. It is interesting how yourbrain makes an informed guess dependign on the hues.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read about the "Contrast/ Color Illusions" activity I immediately thought of an experience that I once had. The Tommy Bartlett Exploratory in Wisconsin Dells has tons and tons of these "Illusions." A specific one I remember was a wheel that was totally white except for five black dashes that were layered from the inside of the circle to the outside on about a quarter of the circle. As you spun the wheel, the black dashes were now complete rings, but they weren't black anymore. Each dash was a different color. Then, when you spun the wheel in the opposite direction the colors reappeared again, but in the opposite order! They gave an explanation of why our mind makes illusions such as that, but I can't remember what it was at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI have read the article which shoes about the illusions of mind process and many derivatives. artistic side is in the right side and speech is in the left.I want to know suggestion from others.Different eyes contrasts shows different results at margin level.
