Document Summary

Familiar because you have it in memory: visual motor coordination. The saxophone player and then image = sax player. The information is built from the info on the retina. But the thing is the spot light is not at the same time at once. When the person moves their eye, the image moves with it. It"s a way of making sure the same cells are being stimulated. After a while, those cells stop firing and then the image disappears: if there"s no change you cant see those things anymore. They use a task called the visual search task: for example, a target is a red line. When you have a feature such as colour, # of objects line orientation same as above graph. The cube in the circles, there are no vertices of the cubes, but we see them anyway: because the visual system likes to see lines, we make interpretations about what it could be .
