Wildsoet, Chair Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a form of visual impairment in which distant objects appear blurry due to excessive axial eye growth that is mismatched to the eye’s refractive power. This condition, though treatable with spectacles, contact lenses, or refractive surgery, continues to increase in prevalence, particularly in some Asian countries, where up to 80-90% of young people and students are myopic. High myopia (< -6.00 D) is associated with greater risk of glaucoma, retinal detachment, and other blinding complications. Myopia is a complex disease with both genetic and environmental components. Rising myopia prevalence rates have mirrored lifestyle shifts that include reduced outdoor and light exposure. The directionality and impact of environmental risk factors, particularly light exposure, on myopia, continue to be poorly understood, partly due to the lack of in vivo and realtime instruments for measuring these effects.

  • Optical Illusions and Effects on Clothing Design1
    International Journal of Science Culture and Sport (IntJSCS) June 2015 : 3(2) ISSN : 2148-1148 Doi : 10.14486/IJSCS272 Optical Illusions and Effects on Clothing Design1 Saliha AĞAÇ*, Menekşe SAKARYA** * Associate Prof., Gazi University, Ankara, TURKEY, Email: [email protected] ** Niğde University, Niğde, TURKEY, Email: [email protected] Abstract “Visual perception” is in the first ranking between the types of perception. Gestalt Theory of the major psychological theories are used in how visual perception realizes and making sense of what is effective in this process. In perception stage brain takes into account not only stimulus from eyes but also expectations arising from previous experience and interpreted the stimulus which are not exist in the real world as if they were there. Misperception interpretations that brain revealed are called as “Perception Illusion” or “Optical Illusion” in psychology. Optical illusion formats come into existence due to factors such as brightness, contrast, motion, geometry and perspective, interpretation of three-dimensional images, cognitive status and color. Optical illusions have impacts of different disciplines within the study area on people. Among the most important types of known optical illusion are Oppel-Kundt, Curvature-Hering, Helzholtz Sqaure, Hermann Grid, Muller-Lyler, Ebbinghaus and Ponzo illusion etc. In fact, all the optical illusions are known to be used in numerous area with various techniques and different product groups like architecture, fine arts, textiles and fashion design from of old. In recent years, optical illusion types are frequently used especially within the field of fashion design in the clothing model, in style, silhouette and fabrics. The aim of this study is to examine the clothing design applications where optical illusion is used and works done in this subject.

LaValle: Virtual Reality Chapter 6 Visual Perception This chapter continues where Chapter 5 left off by transitioning from the phys- iology of human vision to perception. If we were computers, then this transition might seem like going from low-level hardware to higher-level software and algo- rithms. How do our brains interpret the world around us so effectively in spite of our limited biological hardware? To understand how we may be fooled by visual stimuli presented by a display, you must first understand how our we perceive or interpret the real world under normal circumstances. It is not always clear what we will perceive. We have already seen several optical illusions. VR itself can be Figure 6.1: This painting uses a monocular depth cue called a texture gradient to considered as a grand optical illusion.

  • Ach and NE: Bayes, Uncertainty, Attention, and Learning
    ACh and NE: Bayes, Uncertainty, Attention, and Learning by Angela Jie Yu B.S. Brain & Cognitive Sci., B.S. Comp. Sci., B.S. Mathematics Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2000 Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit University College London 17 Queen Square London WC1N 3AR, United Kingdom THESIS Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of London 2005 2 Abstract Uncertainty in various forms plagues our interactions with the environment. In a Bayesian statistical framework, optimal inference and learning, based on im- perfect observation in changing contexts, require the representation and manip- ulation of different forms of uncertainty. We propose that the neuromodulatory systems such as acetylcholine (ACh) and norepinephrine (NE) play a major role in the brain's implementation of these uncertainty computations. ACh and NE have long been supposed to be critically involved in cognitive processes such as attention and learning. However, there has been little consensus on their precise computational functions. We propose that acetylcholine reports expected uncer- tainty; norepinephrine signals unexpected uncertainty. The interaction between these formally distinct sorts of uncertainty is suggested as playing a important role in mediating the interaction between top-down and bottom-up processing in inference and learning. The generative models we use to describe probabilistic relationships in the en- vironment belong to the class of noisy dynamical systems related to the Hidden Markov Model (HMM). At any given time point, the animal has uncertainty about the hidden state of the world that arises from two sources: the noisy relationship between the true state and imperfect sensory observations, and the inherent non- stationarity of these hidden states.
