Sensation and Perception
• Sensation– Ability to detect and encode information
– Raw data
– Each sense has specialized receptors sensitive to a particular kind of energy

Sensation and Perception
• Perception– Ability to organize and interpret information
– Subjective experience of raw data
– Law of specific nerve energies• activity by a particular nerve always conveys the
same type of information to the brain
– Perception not always reality

Vision
• Vision is our primary sensory experience
• More of the human brain is dedicated to vision than to any other sense

Structure of the Eye
• Cornea – Clear outer covering
• Iris – Opens and closes to allow more or less light in– The hole in the iris is called the pupil.
• Lens– Focuses light– Bends to accommodate near and far objects
• Retina– Where light energy initiates neural activity

The Basics: Visible Light and the Structure of the Eye
• Myopia (nearsightedness)– Inability to bring distant objects into clear focus
– Focal point of light falls short of the retina
• Hyperopia (farsightedness)– Inability to focus on near objects
– Focal point of light falls beyond the retina
• Presbyopia– Common form of hyperopia seen in older
adults

The Optic Nerve
• Consists of the axons of ganglion cells
• exits through the back of the eye and travel to the brain
• Blind spot (optic disc)
– Region of the retina where there are no photoreceptors
– Activity: Find Your Blind Spot!

Retina of the Retina
• Retina– Light-sensitive surface at the back of the eye– consists of neurons and photoreceptor cells
• Convert light to action potentials• Discriminate wavelengths so we see colors
–Which is an example of a sensation? Perception?
– Images on retina is upside down and backward• Brain makes the adjustment

Structure of the Eye
• Fovea– “pit”– Region at the center of the retina – Receptors densely packed
• Lots of cones–Each one has direct line to brain–Allows us to register exact location of
input• Clearest vision
– Needed for detail• Reading, driving

Structure of the Eye
• Periphery of the retina– Less detailed vision
– Doesn’t need as much light as fovea
– Fovea = visual acuity
– Periphery = see in dim light

– Rods:
• periphery of the eye
• 120 million per retina
• Sensitive to low levels of light
• night vision
• Each ganglion cell excited by many rods

Rods and Cones
• Rods and cones converge onto 1 million axons in the optic nerve
• The ratio of rods to cones is higher in species that are more active at dim light
• Individual differences– Athletes and aim

Color Vision
• Visible light is a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
• The perception of color is dependent upon the wavelength of the light
• “Visible” wavelengths are dependent upon the species’ receptors
• Humans perceive wavelengths between 400 and 700 nanometers (nm)

Color Vision
• Three Types of Cone Pigments– Most responsive to:
• 419 nm (“blue” or short wavelength)
• 531 nm (“green” or middle wavelength)
• 559 nm (“red” or long wavelength)
– There are about equal numbers of red and green cones, but fewer blue cones.

Color Vision
• Trichromatic Theory (1800’s)– Color vision based on three primary colors:
red, green, and blue• “RGB let’s us see!”
– Color is determined by the responses of the different cone types
– Each cone responds to some wavelengths more than others
– The ratio of activity across the three types of cones determines the color

• Trichromatic Theory
– Can explain different types of color blindness
• Examples of color-deficient vision
• 1 in 20 males, 1 in 400 females– Genes for pigments on X chromosome
– Limitation:
• Four basic colors: red, green, yellow, and blue
• Cannot explain afterimages

Color Vision
• Opponent-Process Theory
– Ewald Hering
– Perceive colors in terms of opposites
• Red versus green, blue versus yellow, black vs. white
– Opponent processing occurs in bipolar cells
• Cells excited by one set of wavelengths and inhibited by another
– Ex: some neurons are “turned on” by red and “turned off” by “green”

Limitations of Color Vision Theories
• Both theories have limitations– Can’t explain color constancy
• ability to recognize color stays same despite changes in lighting
• Retinex theory – Cortex compares info from different parts of
retina to determine brightness, color

• Two explanations, one paragraph each, of why people see different colors.
• One paragraph discussing explanation is most convincing to you and why.
• Please cite sources.

Processing of Visual Information
• Lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN)– Part of the thalamus
– Specialized for visual perception
– Destination for most ganglion cell axons
– Sends axons to other parts of the thalamus and to the visual areas of the occipital cortex
• The cortex and thalamus constantly feed information back and forth to each other

Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGC)- Magnocellular cell (M-cell)
• Magno = large• Receives input from rods• Sensitive to light, pattern and moving stimuli
– Parvocellular cell (P-cell)• Parvo = small• Receives input from cones• Sensitive to color, fine details

5.3 Parallel Processing in the Visual Cortex
• At least 80 brain areas that contribute to vision in different ways.– Shape, color, movement, location

Dorsal and Ventral Visual Paths
• Dorsal Visual Stream
– Pathway from occipital lobe to the parietal lobe
– The “how” pathway
• Responds to image movement
• Tell us how to act toward objects
–Ex: reaching to catch a ball

Dorsal and Ventral Visual Streams
• Ventral Visual Stream
– Pathway from occipital lobe to the temporal lobe
– The “what” pathway
• Recognition and identification
–Ex: faces

• Agnosia = not knowing
• Visual-Form Agnosia
– Inability to recognize objects or drawings of objects despite having vision
– Video clip (5:00 minutes)
– Cannot recognize objects, but can:• Copy objects and draw objects from memory
• Correctly shape hands when grasping for objects, despite not recognizing those objects

Injury to the “What” Pathway
• Color Agnosia (achromatopsia)– Inability to recognize colors
• Face Agnosia (prosopagnosia)– Inability to recognize faces
– Damage to fusiform gyrus
– 60 Minutes segment (12:00 minutes)
• Capras delusion– Secrets of the Mind (start at 7:30)

Injury to the Pathway Leading to the Cortex
• Monocular Blindness– Destruction of the retina or optic nerve of one eye
– produces loss of sight in that eye
• Homonymous Hemianopia– Blindness of an entire left or right visual field
– Damage to LGN, optic tract or visual cortex
– Related to visual neglect (start at 3:30)

Injury to the Pathway Leading to the Cortex
• Quadrantanopia– Blindness of one quadrant of the visual field
• Scotoma– Small blind spot in the visual field
– Caused by a small lesion in visual cortex
– Eyes are always moving, brain fills in gap
