Document Summary
The process by which agents interpret and organize incoming sensory inputs (sensations) to produce a meaningful experience about the world (depending on the stimuli present) From a cs perspective = raw data useful information. Atypical: sense in the bowel, stomach, pain receptors, heat receptors etc. Extramission theory rays of light emanating from the eye in combination with light in the world allow us to see. Intromission theory visual perception is accomplished by rays of light reflected from objects into the eyes. Light is reflected into the eye and focused on the retina. The image is severely distorted and inverted. Cone: there are 3 types; short (blue), medium (green) and long (red) wavelengths works best in bright lights: fewer cone cells exist for peripheral vision. Size we know the size of things. Perspective: when things are further they appear smaller. Occlusion when one thing is in front of another.
