It is a Psychology Presentation. It is mainly related to errors in perception and different examples of it like delusion, illusion, hallucination etc. It also sheds light on Muller Lyer Illusion and its example of arrrows.
Depth perception allows humans to determine distance and is achieved through three means: the size of retinal images, moving parallax, and binocular vision. Stereopsis provides much greater depth perception for nearby objects but is useless beyond 50-200 feet. Eye movements include fixation, where the eyes bring an object into focus on the fovea, and saccades, where the eyes rapidly jump between objects in the visual field. Color vision is achieved through three types of cone cells sensitive to different wavelengths, allowing the perception of different colors.
The document discusses the senses of sensation and perception. It describes the key elements of sensation as a stimulus and receptor. The main senses are identified as vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, along with the sensory receptors involved in each sense. Perception is defined as the interpretation of sensory information in the brain.
The document discusses various senses and perception. It describes in detail the structures and functions of vision including the eye, retina, lens and defects like myopia. It also discusses hearing including the outer, middle and inner ear as well as defects like conductive hearing loss. It briefly covers smell describing the olfactory epithelium and receptors, and taste mentioning the taste buds on the tongue that contain receptor cells.
Optical illusions use visual deception to trick the eyes or brain. There are three main types: cognitive/perceptual illusions which distort size, shape or position; literal illusions which differ from the objects that create them; and physiological illusions which overstimulate the eyes or brain. Studies show females are slightly better than males at seeing some optical illusions, but age does not affect perception. Examples include impossible objects, distorted sizes, and hidden images. While most optical illusions are harmless, prolonged viewing could cause eye strain or headaches in some cases.
The document discusses different types of dreams, focusing on lucid dreams where the dreamer is aware they are dreaming. It describes how lucid dreams feel real to the senses and can be controlled by the dreamer's imagination. The document also discusses the Lucidity Institute founded by Stephen LaBerge to research techniques for achieving lucid dreams, such as using flashing lights to signal to the dreamer that they are asleep.
This document discusses pupillary evaluation techniques including the direct and consensual light reflex test and near reflex test. It describes the anatomy of the pupil and visual pathway. The light reflex and near reflex are examined to assess the integrity of the pupillary light reflex pathway. An afferent pupillary defect can indicate damage anywhere along the visual pathway from the retina to the lateral geniculate body and presents as a reduction in pupil contraction when one eye is stimulated compared to the other. The document grades the severity of relative afferent pupillary defects and lists potential causes.

Optical illusions arise due to differences between perceived images and objective reality. There are three main types of optical illusions - literal illusions that distort images, physiological illusions caused by eye/brain stimulation, and cognitive illusions arising from unconscious inferences. Physiological illusions result from effects on vision like adaptation or lateral inhibition. Cognitive illusions involve perceptual organization, ambiguous figures, impossible objects, and distortions of features like size, shape or color based on context. Optical illusions reveal insights into visual processing and perception in the brain.

This document summarizes the history of dream research and current theories about dreaming. It discusses the seminal 1953 discovery of REM sleep by Aserinski and Kleitman, which revealed that the brain is highly active during dreaming sleep. However, many scientists became convinced that REM sleep and dreaming are the same, which has hindered progress. Recent work has abandoned stagnant theories and postulated new functions of dreaming, such as improving sleep quality or preparing for danger. However, the true purpose of dreaming remains unclear as researchers cannot directly observe dreams. The document reviews what is known about the physiology and content of dreams during REM sleep.
The document provides an overview of consciousness and related concepts through definitions, examples, and theories. It discusses consciousness as:
1) A mystery that modern science still aims to explain, such as how physical processes in the brain give rise to subjective experience.
2) A state of awareness that can be altered through different states of brain activity, perception, experiences like dreams, meditation, and altered states induced by drugs or sensory tricks.
3) A topic explored through different philosophical perspectives, such as dualism, functionalism, and theories that consciousness is an illusion or epiphenomenon of physical processes.
Optical illusions are visual perceptions that differ from objective reality due to processing in the brain. There are three main types - literal illusions create different images than objects, physiological illusions result from excessive stimulation overwhelming neural pathways, and cognitive illusions arise from unconscious inferences about the world. Factors causing illusions include color, eye structure, depth/distance, past experience, and lines/curves. Examples of natural illusions are rainbows, auroras, and mirages. Studying these failures of perception provides insight into the brain's visual processing.
Dr. Sushma Rathee discusses the differences between illusions and hallucinations. An illusion is a distortion of the senses that reveals how the brain interprets sensory stimulation, though illusions can mislead perception, they are generally shared experiences. In contrast, a hallucination is a perception without an external stimulus that seems as vivid as a real perception. The document defines and provides examples of different types of illusions and hallucinations, including visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory. The key difference is that illusions involve a real stimulus that is misinterpreted, while hallucinations are perceptions without an actual external cause.

Sensation and Perception (Cognitive Psychology) - Chenaye MercadoChenayeMercado1
This document provides an overview of cognitive psychology and sensation and perception. It discusses:
- The emergence of cognitive psychology as a field focused on studying cognition and mental processes.
- Key topics in sensation and perception, including the distinction between sensation and perception, thresholds, attention, sensory adaptation, and the roles of vision and hearing.
- Concepts like wavelength, amplitude, pitch, decibels and how they relate to visual and auditory stimuli.
- Anatomy of the eye and how light is sensed by the retina through rods and cones before visual information is transmitted by the optic nerve.
Illusion is a perception that misinterprets reality. It is the technique of tricking the mind into conjuring up ideas or images inconsistent with reality. The misrepresentation of sensory data frequently leads to illusions. They might be tactile, aural, or visual, and humans can produce them or occur naturally.
The document discusses the process of visual sensation and perception. It begins by defining sensation as the biological detection of stimulus information through receptors. It then describes the key components of the human eye that are involved in visual sensation, including the cornea, iris, lens, retina with rods and cones, as well as the role of the brain in processing visual information. The document emphasizes that understanding visual sensation is important for artists and designers to effectively present and manipulate visual material.
Contributions of Herman von Helmholtz in experimental psychologyLaiba Aftab Malik
Helmholtz made important contributions to experimental psychology in the 19th century. He discovered theories of neural impulses, perception, and audition. He was interested in how images are formed in the brain from sensory perception and invented the ophthalmoscope to study the eye. Helmholtz also measured nerve impulse speeds, disproving the idea of a "vital force" and showing impulses travel at one-tenth the speed of sound. His work on sound and the ear led to identifying resonances in the inner ear responsible for pitch perception. Helmholtz invented the resonator to study pure tone components of complex sounds.
The document discusses the cranial nerve, specifically cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve). It describes the three nuclei of the facial nerve: the main motor nucleus, the parasympathetic nuclei (superior salivatory and lacrimal nuclei), and the sensory nucleus. It outlines the course of the facial nerve as it emerges from the brainstem and travels through the internal acoustic meatus and facial canal before emerging through the stylomastoid foramen. The motor nucleus innervates the muscles of facial expression and related muscles, while the parasympathetic nuclei innervate salivary and lacrimal glands.
This document discusses the cranial nerves, beginning with an overview of their anatomy and numbering. It then provides mnemonics to remember the names and functions of the cranial nerves. The majority of the document discusses the anatomy and examination of specific cranial nerves, including the olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, abducent, and trigeminal nerves. It describes their pathways, functions, lesions, and how to examine things like visual acuity, visual fields, eye movements, and sensation.
Sensation and perception focuses on how physical stimuli like light and sound are translated into psychological experiences. There are two main aspects - sensation, which is the detection of stimuli by the senses, and perception, which is the interpretation and organization of sensory information. The five main senses are vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Thresholds refer to the minimum amount of stimulation needed for detection. Factors like adaptation, learning, and psychological states can influence perception.

Perception involves noticing information from the environment and making sense of it based on existing knowledge. Factors like attitudes, moods, and expectations can influence perception. Perception is studied using approaches like empiricism, which focuses on sensory experience, and Gestalt psychology, which sees the mind forming meaningful wholes. Perception results from both top-down, knowledge-based processing and bottom-up, stimulus-based processing. Illusions reveal how perception can distort reality, and examples include the Müller-Lyer illusion of line length and the Kanizsa triangle illusion of perceived but nonexistent contours.
This document discusses different states of consciousness including sleep, dreaming, hypnosis, meditation, and altered states from psychoactive drugs. It describes 5 stages of sleep with different brain wave patterns. REM sleep is highlighted as the stage where dreaming occurs. Various theories of dreaming are presented. Abnormal sleep conditions like insomnia and sleep apnea are also examined. The document also explores concepts of extrasensory perception, parapsychology, and paranormal phenomena.

Abnormal sleep conditions like insomnia and sleep apnea are also examined. The document also explores concepts of extrasensory perception, parapsychology, and paranormal phenomena.
The activation-synthesis theory of dreaming proposes that:
1) During REM sleep, the brain generates random neural signals that are interpreted into dream narratives.
2) These random signals occur because sensory input is blocked and movements are inhibited during REM sleep.
3) The brain synthesizes the random neural activations into coherent stories that make up our dreams.
Sensation is the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent information about our internal and external environment. There are 5 main sensory systems - vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Each system contains receptor cells that transduce physical stimuli into electrochemical signals to the brain. The brain then interprets these signals to form our perceptions. Sensory thresholds, adaptation and neural processing help us detect changes in our environment. Defects in these systems can impair our sensory abilities.

5. ~An optical illusion is charectarised by
visually perceved images that differ from
objective reality.
~The information gathered by our eye is
processed in the brain to give a perception
that does not tally with a physical
measurement of the stimulus source.
6. Optical illusions are classified into
many types.some of the important
classifications are :-
->Congnitive Illusions
->unconscious Inference
->Visual Perceptions
7. COGNITIVE ILLUSIONS :
//Cognitive illusions are assumed to arise by
interaction with assumptions about the world
leading to ‘UNCONCIOUS INFERNCE’
//It was invented by a German Physicist &
physician “HERMAN HELMHOLTS”.
This Illusion is again divided into 4 parts. They
are :-
>Ambiguous Illusions , Distoring , Paradox ,
Fictions.
9. VISUAL PERCEPTIONS
•
~Illusions can be based on an individual ability to see in 3-dimensional
even through the image is 2- dimensional.
•
PONZO ILLUSION is one such Illusion.
•
~In Ponzo Illusion the converging parallel lines tells the brain that the
image higher in the visual field is farther away then the brain percives
the image to be larger even though the two images hitting the retina at
the same time.
10. ~Even when we are moving a vehicle
sometimes we assume that we are in rest
and the surroundings are in motion.
11. According to ‘MARK CHANGIZI’ of
Rensseler Polytechnic Institute of
New York, the optical ilusions are due
to a nural lag which most humans
experience while awake.
~When light hits the retina about 1/10
of a second goes by before the brain
translates the signal into a visual
perceptions of the world.
12. Opthamologist Albert Ames . Jr
who was influenced by the writings
of Herman Helmholts created a
room called Ames room in 1935.
