PSY280H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Spherical Aberration, Intraocular Pressure, Electromagnetic Spectrum
Document Summary
Psy280: lecture 3: january 23, 2019: the eye from light to sight. It highlights the linear relationship b/w a stimulus and perception. It reveals a non-linear relationship b/w stimulus and perception. It highlights that not all environmental stimuli are perceived: no, this is when the image is perceived, as psychophysics are before we perceive the image. The image below would be used to in which of the following psychophysical approaches: magnitude estimation, cognitive testing, reaction testing, phenomenological reporting, perceptual biasing, plays a role in phenomenological reporting, but it"s not a psychological approach. Vision uses a lot of resources in the brain, so there is a huge emphasis on visual systems in our body and thus in subsequent research. Captures lights and converts it into meaningful stimuli: lights is in the electromagnetic spectrum. The eye is also sensitive to pick up particles of light: these photoreceptors have to work in 3+ i. e. cones 3 gives good color perception.
