Synesthesia
This document discusses the neurological phenomenon of synesthesia. Synesthesia occurs when stimulation of one sensory pathway leads to automatic experiences in another sensory pathway. For example, people with grapheme-color synesthesia see letters and numbers as inherently colored. The document outlines several types of synesthesia and proposes that increased cross-talk between brain regions specialized for different functions may explain how it occurs. It suggests this same mechanism may generate creative and intellectual activity as well as dreams. In the end, it expresses appreciation for learning about the complex field of neurobiology.
Visual communication and Visual cues part two
This document discusses various techniques used to convey depth perception and motion in visual communications. It describes techniques such as linear perspective, size differences, lighting, and interposition that can create an illusion of depth. It also discusses how motion can be simulated through techniques like sequential images to leverage the persistence of vision, as well as how eye movement and positioning of graphic elements can direct a viewer's eyes. The document explores the history of concepts like stereoscopic images, motion pictures, and how still images can imply motion through techniques like those used in cave drawings.
Reflex tutorial
- A cochlear loss typically results in acoustic reflexes present at normal hearing levels (below 100 dB HL), but at reduced sensation levels (less than 65 dB above the hearing threshold). Significant reflex decay is not expected.
- A conductive loss usually results in absent ipsilateral acoustic reflexes in the ear with the loss. A contralateral reflex may be present if the loss is unilateral and not severe. Any reflex found would be at a normal sensation level but a higher hearing level due to the elevated threshold.
- A retrocochlear loss may result in absent reflexes or ones present at elevated hearing and sensation levels. Early on a reflex may be present but reflex decay would be found.
Optical illusion
Optical illusions visually trick the brain by making images appear different than reality. There are three main types of optical illusions - literal illusions that create different images than the objects, physiological illusions caused by excessive stimulation of the eyes/brain, and cognitive illusions from unconscious inferences. Throughout history, different types of optical illusions have become popular based on the time period, including ambiguous images from the early 1900s and abstract op art in the 1960s that appeared to move. Optical illusions work because the mind cannot view exact details or multiple images at once, instead interpreting visual stimuli in a way that creates illusions.
VISUAL SEMIOTICS AND CULTURAL CRITICISM
1. The document discusses visual semiotics, which analyzes how images create meaning through signs and codes.
2. Signs derive meaning not just on their own but from their relationship within sign systems and codes, such as language, objects, and gestures.
3. Cultural criticism examines popular and high culture through techniques like describing works, verifying theories, and supporting histories. It analyzes objects of culture like film, media, and lifestyle.
PATHWAY OF LIGHT REFLEX AND NEAR REFLEX.pptx
This document discusses the pathways of light reflex and near reflex in the eye. It begins by explaining how light reflex causes both pupils to constrict when light is shone in one eye. It then describes the pathway from the retina through the optic nerve, chiasm, and tract to the pretectal nucleus. It further explains how fibers from the pretectal nucleus connect to the Edinger-Westphal nucleus and travel along the oculomotor nerve to constrict the sphincter pupillae muscle. Abnormalities of the pathways such as afferent and efferent defects are also summarized, along with Adie's tonic pupil. In short, the document provides an overview of the neural pathways and functions of
Lesson 2 & 3 semiotics
1. The document discusses semiotics, the study of signs and their meanings.
2. It explains Ferdinand de Saussure's theory that a sign has two parts - the signifier, or what we see, and the signified, or what is suggested.
3. There are three types of signs - iconic signs resemble what they represent, indexical signs suggest what they represent through a connection, and symbolic signs have culturally learned meanings not connected to their form.

Pubertal voice disorders & Puberphonia, Dr Fadaly
The use of voice is an integral part of communication; our voice is one of the defining features of our individuality, and it shares a lot of information about you, your voice tells others if you are happy or sad, healthy or unwell, young or old. Our voice can also reveal to others our background, such as the region of the world where we live, and even our social economic status, when a voice produced that perceived by others as unusual or strange and draws attention to the person who is speaking, it is quite likely the person is demonstrating a voice disorder.
So, I am happy to introduce this presentation about Pubertal voice disorders & Puberphonia, I would like this presentation to be useful and add a lot of information on this topic.
What is surrealism ?
Surrealism is an early 20th century cultural movement that began in Paris in the 1920s. It aimed to combine dream and reality through visual artworks and writings that featured surprising juxtapositions and scenes depicted with photographic precision. Surrealist works were intended as expressions of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the goal of resolving contradictions between dreams and reality. The leader André Breton asserted Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement that developed from Dada and spread globally in the following decades to influence various artistic fields as well as political and social thought.
Optical Illusions!!
The document discusses various optical illusions intended to trick the eye and perception. In 3 sentences:
The document presents several images containing optical illusions asking the reader questions about colors, shapes, movement, sizes, and images within images to highlight how visual perception can be deceived. Readers are shown parallel lines that look curved, sizes that look different but are the same, images that appear in motion but are static, and ambiguous images intended to be seen in multiple conflicting ways. The purpose is to demonstrate how easily the eyes can be tricked despite what may be logically known to be true.

What is videonystagmography
Videonystagmography is also known as VNG, is a most advanced diagnostic test for a balance disorder. Individuals who feel dizzy and face difficulty in maintaining their balance and equilibrium should undergo the videonystagmography diagnostic test.
Biofilms in ent
The document discusses biofilms in ENT diseases. It notes that biofilms are difficult to detect, highly resistant to antibiotics and host defenses, and are suspected in chronic/recurrent infections. Biofilm formation is a multistep process where bacteria attach to surfaces and produce an extracellular matrix. This makes biofilms challenging to treat, requiring both mechanical removal and long-term antibiotic therapy. The document outlines various ENT diseases associated with biofilms like chronic rhinosinusitis, otitis media, and implant infections.
Optical illusions
There are three main types of optical illusions: physiological, pathological, and cognitive. Physiological illusions involve brightness, color, location, dimension, and movement perceptions. Pathological illusions relate to sickness and disease. Cognitive illusions are ambiguous, distorting, paradox, or fictional illusions and involve perceptual organization, depth and motion perception, color and brightness constancies, object consistencies, and future perception. Optical illusions can be funny to find and understand.
Visual arts extended essay
The document provides guidance for writing a Visual Arts Extended Essay. It recommends choosing a specific research question about art styles, architecture, design, or visual culture. The essay should avoid being descriptive and instead arrive at an original, personal conclusion about the research question through critical analysis. Effective topics analyze a particular artist's use of color, cultural influences, or other focused subjects, rather than broad overviews. The document also offers advice on incorporating primary sources, critiques, and supporting evidence from art experts.
Endoscopic dcr
1) Endoscopic DCR is a minimally invasive procedure to treat nasolacrimal duct obstruction that avoids external incisions and scars.
2) Key steps include identifying bony landmarks to locate the lacrimal sac, making a bone window, inserting a silicone tube, and correcting any associated nasal pathology.
3) Advantages over external DCR include avoiding external scars, direct visualization allowing precise surgery and management of concurrent nasal issues, and lower risks of complications.
Surrealism
Surrealism was an artistic movement that began in the early 20th century that aimed to express the subconscious mind through fantastical imagery. It grew out of Dadaism and was officially founded in 1924 by Andre Breton. Key surrealist techniques included automatism, where artists created works unconsciously through free association, and juxtaposing unrelated objects. Major surrealist artists included Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Max Ernst, Joan Miro, and later Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo, and Leonora Carrington. Surrealism had a significant influence on later artistic movements and aimed to challenge rationalism and social norms through liberating the imagination.
Application of Color Theory in Marketing
This document discusses how color theory can be applied in marketing. It provides information on the meanings and emotional impacts commonly associated with different colors like red, yellow, green, and blue. It also discusses how color preferences can differ by gender. Color is an important part of branding, as brands become associated with their distinctive colors over time. Research suggests that simply changing the color of a call-to-action button, like from green to red, can increase conversion rates by attracting more attention with a contrasting color. In summary, the document outlines the psychological impacts of different colors and how understanding color theory can help with marketing, branding, and design decisions.
What is Subjective visual vertical diagnosis test (SVV Test)?
Millions of people around the world suffer from Vertigo. Vertigo arises out of a dis-balance in the inner ear nerves, resulting in dizziness, a spinning sensation, loss of balance, headache & nausea. The Vertigo test that can very accurately measure this dysfunction in the otolithic functioning is the Subjective Visual Vertical Test.
Oae vemp ccg
This document discusses various tests used to evaluate cochlear and vestibular function, including OAEs, VEMPs, and CCG. It provides details on:
- How OAEs are generated by healthy cochlea and the different types of OAE tests (TEOAE, DPOAE).
- How VEMPs record electrical potentials from neck and eye muscles in response to sound to evaluate vestibular pathways. Details are given on cervical and ocular VEMP procedures.
- How CCG uses lights on the head and shoulders with video recording to quantify vestibular-spinal reflexes during tests like Unterberger or Romberg maneuvers.
Creating clay tile1
This document outlines the steps of a lesson plan for creating Islamic ceramic tiles. The objectives are to learn about patterns and colors in Islamic art, design a hexagon tile with outlines and colors, and add details to a clay tile. The lesson involves researching Islamic art examples, designing a symmetrical hexagon tile with patterns, and creating the tile out of clay using techniques like rolling out the shape, cutting it out, and applying designs and colors with glazes.
Optical illusions
This document discusses optical illusions and is divided into several sections. It defines optical illusions as any illusion of sense of view that causes us to perceive reality erroneously. It outlines the main types of illusions - literal, physiological, and cognitive illusions. Physiological illusions are caused by the structure or function of the visual system, while cognitive illusions involve unconscious inferences by the eye and brain. Examples of artists who used optical illusions include Escher, Dalí, and contemporary artists like István Orosz and Akiyoshi Kitaoka. The document provides examples of different illusions and includes a short questionnaire.
Avant garde
The document discusses the history and evolution of the avant-garde art movement. It begins by outlining some key features of modernist avant-garde art such as shocking/transgressive subject matter and an oppositional stance to social norms. It then examines how the avant-garde changed after World War 2 with the loss of its bourgeois enemy and the rise of popular culture. More recent incarnations of avant-garde, such as the works of Jeff Koons, Sylvie Fleury and Takashi Murakami, further blurred boundaries between art and commercial culture.
Disorders of Olfaction
1. Disorders of olfaction can be conductive, resulting from nasal obstruction, or sensorineural, due to damage to the olfactory neuroepithelium.
2. Common causes of sensorineural disorders include upper respiratory infections, head trauma, tumors near the olfactory region, congenital defects, toxins, age-related changes, and neurodegenerative diseases.
3. Specific conditions that can cause olfactory disorders are post-viral olfactory dysfunction, Kallmann syndrome, septo-optic dysplasia, holoprosencephaly, exposure to metals or other toxins, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and epilepsy presenting with olfactory auras.
Synesthesia
Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon where stimulation of one sensory pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory pathway. It is estimated to occur in 1 in 25,000 people. Common types include seeing colors in response to letters, numbers, or sounds. Research suggests it may be due to excessive or defective neural connections between brain areas in synesthetes. Studies have found synesthetes' perceptions are consistent over long periods and different areas of their brains are activated compared to non-synesthetes. While the exact causes are unknown, current theories explore issues of neural connectivity and cross-wiring in the brain.
synesthesia
1. The document discusses various types of synesthesia such as grapheme-color synesthesia, lexical-gustatory synesthesia, and mirror-touch synesthesia.
2. It summarizes two recent research studies on synesthesia - a single-case fMRI study that found visual stimuli activated the olfactory cortex in one synesthete, and a study showing colored speech synesthesia is triggered by multisensory rather than unisensory perception.
3. The types of synesthesia and results of these studies provide insights into the neurological basis and experiences of people with different forms of synesthesia.

Sinestesia
El documento describe la sinestesia, un fenómeno en el que los estímulos de un sentido provocan automáticamente percepciones en otro sentido. Explica que la sinestesia ocurre en aproximadamente el 1% de la población y que los sinestésicos más famosos incluyen al pintor Wassily Kandinsky, quien experimentaba sinestesia al escuchar música. Finalmente, resume un experimento en el que las personas asociaron colores específicos con piezas musicales clásicas basadas en las emociones que les provocaban.
Sinestesia
El compositor ruso Alexander Scriabin experimentaba sinestesia, la mezcla de sensaciones entre sentidos, asociando cada nota musical con un color en particular. Esto influenció en gran medida su obra, como en su poema Prometheus: El Poema del Fuego, donde incluyó un "teclado de luces" para proyectar los colores correspondientes a cada tonalidad musical. Desafortunadamente, el teclado no pudo usarse en el estreno de la obra durante su vida, aunque fue interpretada posteriormente con este efecto en Nueva York.

Basal ganglia and cerebellum are involved in movement disorders. Hypokinetic disorders involve slow movements while hyperkinetic disorders involve involuntary movements. Examples include Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Tourette's syndrome, dystonia, chorea, athetosis, ballismus, myoclonus, tics and ataxia. Treatment depends on the specific disorder but may include drugs to replenish dopamine, reduce metabolism of dopamine, use of dopamine agonists or Ach receptor antagonists.
Cotard's syndrome
Cotard's syndrome, also known as walking corpse syndrome, is a rare mental illness where patients believe they are dead, their organs are rotting, or that they do not exist. Some symptoms include depression, suicidal thoughts, believing they have no body or internal organs, and thinking they are rotting or covered in worms. The causes are unknown but it may be related to brain injuries or conditions like schizophrenia. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying psychiatric condition.
Dystonia – are you aware of this movement disorder - diseases and treatments
What is Dystonia? Are you aware of its causes, symptoms and treatment. Dystonia is often described as a movement disorder. It is a state of abnormal muscle tone resulting in muscular spasm and abnormal posture, typically due to neurological disease or due to the side effect of drug therapy.
Sindrome de cotard copia
El documento describe el síndrome de Cotard, un raro trastorno en el que las personas creen estar muertas. Fue descrito por primera vez en 1880 por el neurólogo francés Jules Cotard. Los pacientes con este síndrome tienen delirios de negación y creencias de que carecen de órganos o están podridos. Aunque las causas son desconocidas, se relaciona con la depresión y la esquizofrenia. El tratamiento con antidepresivos ha tenido poco éxito.
What is pica
Pica is an eating disorder characterized by an appetite for nonfood items. It is most common in children and pregnant women, and can be caused by nutritional deficiencies like iron lack or mental disorders. People with pica may ingest items like dirt, clay, paper or ice. While some ingested items provide nutrients, pica can also be harmful by causing poisoning, stomach damage or choking if sharp or toxic objects are eaten. Prevention involves monitoring children and addressing any underlying physical or psychological causes through nutritional supplements or medical treatment.
Pica Presentation
Pica is defined as an abnormal desire to eat non-food substances. It commonly affects children between ages 1-6, pregnant women, and those with autism or developmental disabilities. Symptoms include eating items like clay, dirt, buttons or paint. Possible long-term effects include damage to teeth/gums, poisoning or bowel obstruction. Treatment involves counseling, supplementing vitamins, and monitoring children. Hospitalizations for pica in the US increased 93% between 1999-2009.
Dystonia
The document discusses the definition, classification, features, and pathophysiology of dystonia. It is classified based on age of onset, distribution, and etiology. Primary dystonias have no known underlying brain lesion and can be hereditary or idiopathic in nature, while secondary dystonias have an identifiable cause such as drugs, toxins, or other neurological conditions. The pathophysiology of primary dystonias involves subtle changes in neuronal signaling and communication in basal ganglia circuits that lead to abnormal patterns of muscle contraction.
