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.
Human psychology an intriguing subject in which a very important aspect is how we recognize and tend to form impressions about our environment and other individuals in the social world is brilliantly explained in this chapter summarized in a visual format.
Special Kinds of Hallucinations from Fish’s Clinical Psychopathology including functional, reflex extracampine and autoscopic hallucination, and patient’s attitude towards hallucination.
Feminist Therapy
Introduction
Feminist therapy puts gender and power at the core of the therapeutic process. It is built on the premise that it is essential to consider the social and cultural context that contributes to a person’s problems in order to understand that person.

This presentation was created as an assignment for an undergraduate psychology class. It was designed to stand alone as a digital PDF, never presented in person. The subject matter is deeply fascinating to me. Synesthesia has a lot to do with human perception, which has everything to do with design.

Dystonia – are you aware of this movement disorder - diseases and treatmentsSehat.com
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.

Chapter Outline
5.1 Sensation versus Perception
5.2 Waves and Wavelengths
5.3 Vision
5.4 Hearing
5.5 The Other Senses
5.6 Gestalt Principles of Perception
Introduction
Imagine standing on a city street corner. You might be struck by movement everywhere as cars and people
go about their business, by the sound of a street musician’s melody or a horn honking in the distance,
by the smell of exhaust fumes or of food being sold by a nearby vendor, and by the sensation of hard
pavement under your feet.
We rely on our sensory systems to provide important information about our surroundings. We use this
information to successfully navigate and interact with our environment so that we can find nourishment,
seek shelter, maintain social relationships, and avoid potentially dangerous situations.
This chapter will provide an overview of how sensory information is received and processed by the
nervous system and how that affects our conscious experience of the world. We begin by learning the
distinction between sensation and perception. Then we consider the physical properties of light and sound
stimuli, along with an overview of the basic structure and function of the major sensory systems. The
chapter will close with a discussion of a historically important theory of perception called Gestalt.
Chapter 5 | Sensation and Perception 149
5.1 Sensation versus Perception
Learning Objectives
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
• Distinguish between sensation and perception
• Describe the concepts of absolute threshold and difference threshold
• Discuss the roles attention, motivation, and sensory adaptation play in perception
SENSATION
What does it mean to sense something? Sensory receptors are specialized neurons that respond to specific
types of stimuli. When sensory information is detected by a sensory receptor, sensation has occurred. For
example, light that enters the eye causes chemical changes in cells that line the back of the eye. These
cells relay messages, in the form of action potentials (as you learned when studying biopsychology), to
the central nervous system. The conversion from sensory stimulus energy to action potential is known as
transduction.
You have probably known since elementary school that we have five senses: vision, hearing (audition),
smell (olfaction), taste (gustation), and touch (somatosensation). It turns out that this notion of five
senses is oversimplified. We also have sensory systems that provide information about balance (the
vestibular sense), body position and movement (proprioception and kinesthesia), pain (nociception), and
temperature (thermoception).
The sensitivity of a given sensory system to the relevant stimuli can be expressed as an absolute threshold.

Miss S. was a 60-year-old woman with a history of high blood pressure, which was not responding well to the medication she was taking. One evening she was sitting in her reclining chair reading the newspaper when the phone rang. She got out of her chair and walked to the phone. As she did, she began to feel giddy and stopped to hold onto the kitchen table. She has no memory of what happened after that.
The next morning, a neighbor, who usually stopped by to have coffee with Miss S., found her lying on the floor, mumbling incoherently. The neighbor called an ambulance, which took Miss S. to a hospital.
Two days after her admission, I visited her in her room, along with a group of neuropsychologists and neurological residents being led by the chief of neurology. We had already been told by the neurological resident in charge of her case that Miss S. had had a stroke in the back part of the right side of the brain. He had attached a CT scan to an illuminated viewer mounted on the wall and had showed us a white spot caused by the accumulation of blood in a particular region of her brain. (You can look at the scan yourself if you like; it is shown in Figure 5.19.)
About a dozen of us entered Miss S.’s room. She was awake but seemed a little confused. The resident greeted her and asked how she was feeling. “Fine, I guess,” she said. “I still don’t know why I’m here.”
“Can you see the other people in the room?”
“Why, sure.”
“How many are there?”
She turned her head to the right and began counting. She stopped when she had counted the people at the foot of her bed. “Seven,” she reported. “What about us?” asked a voice from the left of her bed. “What?” she said, looking at the people she had already counted. “Here, to your left. No, toward your left!” the voice repeated. Slowly, rather reluctantly, she began turning her head to the left. The voice kept insisting, and finally she saw who was talking. “Oh,” she said, “I guess there are more of you.”
The resident approached the left side of her bed and touched her left arm. “What is this?” he asked. “Where?” she said. “Here,” he answered, holding up her arm and moving it gently in front of her face.
“Oh, that’s an arm.”
“An arm? Whose arm?” “I don’t know…. I guess it must be yours.”
“No, it’s yours. Look, it’s a part of you.” He traced with his fingers from her arm to her shoulder.
“Well, if you say so,” she said, still sounding u.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
