Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon where a person feels conscious during sleep but is temporarily unable to move or speak. It occurs when there is a disruption in the normal sleep cycle where signals from the brain paralyze the body. For some people, this paralysis does not fully wear off as they wake up. Episodes typically last seconds to minutes and are often accompanied by frightening hallucinations. While not harmful, sleep paralysis can be distressing and in severe cases may be associated with other sleep or mental health conditions. Improving sleep habits and treating any contributing factors can help reduce episodes of sleep paralysis.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

of rods and cones in
bright light
26. Afterimage
“The gray-and-white afterimage (in the figure at right)
appears because the part of the retina that is exposed to the
dark stripes of the upper square becomes more sensitive
(dark adapted). The area exposed to the white part of the
upper square becomes less sensitive (light adapted). When
you shift your eyes to the lower square, the less sensitive
parts of the retina produce the sensation of gray rather than
white. The afterimage fades within a minute as the retina
adapts again, this time to the solid white square.”

60. Perceptual Constancies
“Perceptual constancy refers to the tendency to perceive objects as
relatively stable and unchanging despite changing sensory information.
Once we have formed a stable perception of an object, we can
recognize it from almost any position, at almost any distance, under
almost any illumination. A house looks like a house day or night and
from any angle.”
(Morris & Maisto)
LO 3.15 Describe the several perceptual constancies
61. Perception of Distance and Depth
LO 3.16 Identify the major cues to distance and depth, distinguishing between monocular and

75. When we look at the world around us, how
much are we really seeing? Let’s find out.
On the following slide you will be shown two
images flashing alternately. The images are
identical except for one major change. See if
you can spot the change before time runs out.
Then try this again with another set of images.
80. These slides illustrate that human
beings are able to pay attention to
only part of the visual sensations that
they are exposed to on a moment-by-
moment basis. These are the parts
that are remembered. This
demonstration reminds us that the
road between sensation and
perception has many twists and
turns.
81. The Blind Spot
Draw two small circles (about six inches apart)
on your paper. Hold the paper out in front of you.
Close your right eye and stare at the right dot
with your left eye. Slowly bring the paper closer
to your face. As you do this, the left dot will
disappear.
82. After Images
Visual sensations that persist after the
initial stimulus has been removed are
called “afterimages.”
On the next slide you will see a picture
of a flag with a white dot in the middle.
Stare at the dot until the screen
changes. Do not take your eyes off of
the white dot.
83.
84. Trichromatic theory cannot account
for afterimages like the one that you
just saw (and may still be seeing).
In order to explain such perceptual
phenomena, a theory is needed that
explains photoreceptor activity
differently.
85. Which of your
senses do you
consider to be the

– Linear perspective
– Aerial perspective
– Elevation
– Texture gradient
– Shadowing
– Motion parallax

The red line represents an ideal case: At all intensities below the threshold, the person reports no sensation or no change in intensity; at all intensities above the threshold, the person reports a sensation or a change in intensity. In reality, however, we never come close to the ideal of the red line.
The blue line shows the actual responses of a typical person. The threshold is taken as the point where a person reports a sensation or a change in intensity 50% of the time.

The Structures of the Eye:
Cornea – transparent protective covering over the front part of the eye.
Pupil – a small opening in the iris through which light enters the eye.
Iris – the colored part of the eye that regulates the size of the pupil.
Lens – the transparent part of the eye behind the pupil that focuses light onto the retina
Retina – the lining of the eye containing receptor cells that are sensitive to light.
Fovea – the area of the retina that is the center of the visual field.
Optic nerve – the bundle of axons of ganglion cells that carries neural messages from each eye to the brain (see slide 21).
Blind spot – the place on the retina where the axons of all the ganglion cells leave the eye and where there are no receptors (see slide 21).
Image credit: video: pen-Adapted from LivePsych by Pearson, Inc. , diagram: eye-Adapted from LivePsych by Pearson, Inc.
The retina contains receptor cells that are responsible for vision. The eye is sensitive to only to a very small segment of the spectrum of electromagnetic energy known as visible light. Energies in the electromagnetic spectrum are referred to by their wavelength.
Wavelengths – the different energies represented in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Bipolar cells – neurons that have only one axon and one dendrite; in the eye, these neurons connect the receptors on the retina to the ganglion cells.
Ganglion cells – neurons that connect the bipolar cells in the eyes to the brain.
Optic nerve – the bundle of axons of ganglion cells that carries neural messages from each eye to the brain.
Blind spot – the place on the retina where the axons of all the ganglion cells leave the eye and where there are no receptors.
Image credit: illustration: eye structure-Adapted from LivePsych by Pearson, Inc.
Sound – a psychological experience created by the brain in response to changes in air pressure that are received by the auditory system.
Sound Waves – changes in pressure caused when molecules of air or fluid collide with one another and then move apart again.
Frequency – the number of cycles per second in a wave.
Hertz (Hz) – unit of measurement (in cycles per second) for the frequency of sound waves.
The human ear responds to frequencies from approximately 20 to 20,000 Hz.
In sound, frequency is the primary determinant of pitch.
Pitch – auditory experience corresponding primarily to frequency of sound vibrations resulting in a higher or lower tone.
Image credits: sound: high note, wavelengths-Derek Borman, sound: low note, wavelengths-Derek Borman
Sound waves gathered by the outer ear are passed along to the eardrum, causing it to vibrate.
The vibration of the eardrum causes the hammer, the anvil, and stirrup to hit each other in sequence, amplifying and carrying the vibrations to the oval window and on to the fluid in the cochlea of the inner ear.
In the inner ear, movement of the basilar membrane stimulates sensory receptors in the organ of Corti, and this stimulation of the hair cells (see next slide) produces auditory signals that travel to the brain through the auditory nerve.
Oval window – membrane across the opening between the middle ear and inner ear that conducts vibrations to the cochlea.
Cochlea – part of the inner ear containing fluid that vibrates, which in turn causes the basilar membrane to vibrate.
Basilar membrane – vibrating membrane in the cochlea of the inner ear; it contains sense receptors for sound.
Organ of Corti – structure on the surface of the basilar membrane that contains the receptor cells for hearing.
Auditory nerve – the bundle of axons that carries signals from each ear to the brain.
Neural Connections: Each ear sends messages to both cerebral hemispheres. The nerve fibers from the ears cross over in the medulla, and then they are sent to various areas of the brain. Ultimately, their destination is the temporal lobe of each hemisphere.
Image credit: illustrations: structure of the ear-Adapted from LivePsych by Pearson, Inc. and Tutis Villis
Organ of Corti – structure on the surface of the basilar membrane that contains the receptor cells for hearing.
At the top of each hair cell is a bundle of fibers. If the fibers bend as much as 100 trillionths of a meter, the receptor cells transmit a sensory message to the brain.
Image credit: illustration: hair cell-Morris/Maisto, 11/e p. 100
Loudness is determined primarily by how many neurons are activated. The coding of pitch is more complicated.
There are two views of pitch discrimination:
Place theory – pitch is determined by the location of greatest vibration in the basilar membrane.
Frequency theory – pitch is determined by the frequency with which hair cells in the cochlea fire.
Volley principle – refinement of frequency theory; it suggests that receptors in the ear fire in sequence, with one group responding, then a second, then a third, and so on, so that the complete pattern of firing corresponds to the frequency of the sound wave.

Taste (the sensory qualities of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami – sensitivity to MSG and other proteins) is different from flavor (a complex interaction of taste and smell).
Taste buds – structures on the tongue that contain the receptor cells for taste.
All areas of the tongue can distinguish all taste qualities, but some areas may be more sensitive to certain tastes than others.
The sensation of taste occurs when the chemical substances in the food we eat come into contact with the taste buds. The taste buds then release a neurotransmitter that causes adjacent neurons to fire, sending a nerve impulse to the parietal lobe of the brain and to the limbic system.
Image credit: illustration: taste=Morris/Maisto, 11/e p. 104
Proximity – when objects are close to one another, we tend to perceive them together rather than separately.
Image credits: Gestalt principles animations-Derek Borman
Similarity – objects that are of a similar color, size, or shape are usually perceived as part of a pattern.
Image credits: Gestalt principles animations-Derek Borman
Closure – we are inclined to overlook incompleteness in sensory information and to perceive a whole object even when none really exists.
Image credits: Gestalt principles animations-Derek Borman
Perceptual constancy – a tendency to perceive objects as stable and unchanging despite changes in sensory stimulation.
Size constancy – the perception of an object as the same size regardless of the distance from which it is viewed.
Shape constancy – a tendency to see an object as the same shape no matter what angle it is viewed from.
Color constancy – an inclination to perceive familiar objects as retaining their color despite changes in sensory information.
Brightness constancy – the perception of brightness as the same, even though the amount of light reaching the retina changes.

Sounds waves coming from source B will reach both ears simultaneously. A sound wave from source A reaches the ear first, where it is also louder. The head casts a “shadow” over the other ear, thus reducing the intensity of the delayed sound in that ear.
We locate the source of sounds by using both monaural (single-ear) and binaural (two-ear) cues.
One monaural cue involves loudness; loud sounds are perceived as closer than faint sounds, and changes in loudness are perceived as changes in distance.
One binaural cue also involves loudness. Sound signals arriving from a source off to one side of a person will be louder in the ear nearer to the source than the ear farther from the source (because the head partially blocks the sound).
Another binaural cue involves the timing of sounds; sound signals will reach the ear closer to the source of the sound before they reach the other ear, indicating which direction from the person the source of the sound is located.

Perception of movement is a complicated process involving:
Visual messages from the retina
Messages from the muscles around the eyes as they shift to follow a moving object
Autokinetic illusion – the perception that a stationary object is actually moving.
Stroboscopic motion – apparent movement that results from flashing a series of still pictures in rapid succession, as in a motion picture.
Phi phenomenon – apparent movement caused by flashing lights in a sequence as on a theater marquee.
When we experience a visual illusion, we are fooled into “seeing” something that is not there. Perceptual illusions occur because the stimulus contains misleading cues that give rise to inaccurate or impossible perceptions.

This demonstration can be used to remind the students that in between sensation and perception are a whole host cognitive steps that must be completed in order for us to make sense of our world.
