    Study Notes

    Sound, Perception, Chemical Senses, Touch, and Pain

    • Sound is characterized by frequency (measured in Hertz) and amplitude (measured in decibels), which determine pitch and loudness respectively.

    • The ear is a frequency analyzer, with hair cells in the organ of Corti detecting vibrations in the Basilar membrane.

    • Hair cells respond preferentially to a particular frequency, and are tonotopic, with neighboring neurons responding to neighboring frequencies.

    • Auditory perception includes pitch and loudness, location in space, and auditory grouping or streaming.

    • Taste and smell are the chemical senses, detecting chemicals with survival value and social effects.

    • Core tastes are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami, with individual differences in taste perception.

    • Olfaction can discriminate up to 10,000 types of molecule, and is affected by attention and learning.

    • Flavour is a multisensory experience that includes taste, olfaction, texture, pain, sound, and vision.

    • Multisensory integration allows for the detection of weak stimuli, the disambiguation of ambiguous stimuli, and the alteration of stimuli quality.

    • Synesthesia is the stimulation of one type leading to another perceptual experience, affecting approximately 1 in 200 people.

    • Touch perception includes four senses: touch, pain, body sense, and temperature, with many tactile receptors and receptive fields.

    • Pain is more than receptor activity, including mental state, attention, and gating in the spinal cord, and can be reduced by non-painful tactile inputs and top-down input.Visual Illusions: Understanding Perception

    • A new receptor called CT (C Tactile) Touch and Pain was discovered in 2002, which is responsible for the sensation of cuddles and other pleasurable sensations.

    • Ian Waterman, a patient who lost other senses of touch, could still feel pain, temperature, and enjoy being cuddled, highlighting the importance of central processing in skin senses.

    • Visual illusions have often been considered negative phenomena, but they tell the truth about perception and the brain's search for the best interpretation of presented data.

    • Perception is an active process that takes place in the brain, and optical illusions mock our trust in our senses.

    • Illusions occur when what we see does not correspond to what is physically present in the world, and they can tell us about normal vision.

    • Gregory (1983) classified visual illusions into distortions, ambiguous figures, paradoxical figures, and fictions.

    • Distortion illusions, such as Muller-Lyer, Ponzo, Poggendorff, Wundt, and Titchner, show the complex depth and size calculations that the brain does correctly all the time.

    • Ambiguous illusions, such as the Necker cube and Rubin vase, occur when there is not enough information for the brain to know exactly which orientation or plane an object is in.

    • Paradoxical figures, such as the Penrose impossible objects, show how the brain tries to make us see in 3D even though the image on our retina is flat.

    • Fictions, such as the Kanizsa triangle, use subjective contours to block our view of more distant objects and make us see the illusion as being closer and brighter.

    • The Ames Room is a trapezoidal-shaped room that causes objects and people to appear to grow or shrink as they travel from one corner to another, based on the use of a single peephole that prevents binocular depth cues.

    • Unresolved and new illusions, such as the moon illusion and Ouchi illusion, continue to be studied, and illusions allow us to become consciously aware of the intricate process of perception that is always going on unconsciously.

    • Taste and smell are the chemical senses, detecting chemicals with survival value and social effects.

    • Core tastes are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami, with individual differences in taste perception.

    • Olfaction can discriminate up to 10,000 types of molecule, and is affected by attention and learning.

    • Flavour is a multisensory experience that includes taste, olfaction, texture, pain, sound, and vision.

    • Multisensory integration allows for the detection of weak stimuli, the disambiguation of ambiguous stimuli, and the alteration of stimuli quality.

    • Synesthesia is the stimulation of one type leading to another perceptual experience, affecting approximately 1 in 200 people.

    • Touch perception includes four senses: touch, pain, body sense, and temperature, with many tactile receptors and receptive fields.

    • Pain is more than receptor activity, including mental state, attention, and gating in the spinal cord, and can be reduced by non-painful tactile inputs and top-down input.Visual Illusions: Understanding Perception

    • A new receptor called CT (C Tactile) Touch and Pain was discovered in 2002, which is responsible for the sensation of cuddles and other pleasurable sensations.

    • Ian Waterman, a patient who lost other senses of touch, could still feel pain, temperature, and enjoy being cuddled, highlighting the importance of central processing in skin senses.

    • Visual illusions have often been considered negative phenomena, but they tell the truth about perception and the brain's search for the best interpretation of presented data.

    • Perception is an active process that takes place in the brain, and optical illusions mock our trust in our senses.

    • Illusions occur when what we see does not correspond to what is physically present in the world, and they can tell us about normal vision.

    • Gregory (1983) classified visual illusions into distortions, ambiguous figures, paradoxical figures, and fictions.

    • Distortion illusions, such as Muller-Lyer, Ponzo, Poggendorff, Wundt, and Titchner, show the complex depth and size calculations that the brain does correctly all the time.

    • Ambiguous illusions, such as the Necker cube and Rubin vase, occur when there is not enough information for the brain to know exactly which orientation or plane an object is in.

    • Paradoxical figures, such as the Penrose impossible objects, show how the brain tries to make us see in 3D even though the image on our retina is flat.

    • Fictions, such as the Kanizsa triangle, use subjective contours to block our view of more distant objects and make us see the illusion as being closer and brighter.

    • The Ames Room is a trapezoidal-shaped room that causes objects and people to appear to grow or shrink as they travel from one corner to another, based on the use of a single peephole that prevents binocular depth cues.

    • Unresolved and new illusions, such as the moon illusion and Ouchi illusion, continue to be studied, and illusions allow us to become consciously aware of the intricate process of perception that is always going on unconsciously.

    Sound, Perception, Chemical Senses, Touch, and Pain

    • Sound is characterized by frequency (measured in Hertz) and amplitude (measured in decibels), which determine pitch and loudness respectively.

    • The ear is a frequency analyzer, with hair cells in the organ of Corti detecting vibrations in the Basilar membrane.

    • Visual illusions have often been considered negative phenomena, but they tell the truth about perception and the brain's search for the best interpretation of presented data.

    • Perception is an active process that takes place in the brain, and optical illusions mock our trust in our senses.

    • Illusions occur when what we see does not correspond to what is physically present in the world, and they can tell us about normal vision.

    • Gregory (1983) classified visual illusions into distortions, ambiguous figures, paradoxical figures, and fictions.

    • Distortion illusions, such as Muller-Lyer, Ponzo, Poggendorff, Wundt, and Titchner, show the complex depth and size calculations that the brain does correctly all the time.

    • Ambiguous illusions, such as the Necker cube and Rubin vase, occur when there is not enough information for the brain to know exactly which orientation or plane an object is in.

    • Paradoxical figures, such as the Penrose impossible objects, show how the brain tries to make us see in 3D even though the image on our retina is flat.

    • Fictions, such as the Kanizsa triangle, use subjective contours to block our view of more distant objects and make us see the illusion as being closer and brighter.

    • The Ames Room is a trapezoidal-shaped room that causes objects and people to appear to grow or shrink as they travel from one corner to another, based on the use of a single peephole that prevents binocular depth cues.

    • Unresolved and new illusions, such as the moon illusion and Ouchi illusion, continue to be studied, and illusions allow us to become consciously aware of the intricate process of perception that is always going on unconsciously.

    Sound, Perception, Chemical Senses, Touch, and Pain

    • Sound is characterized by frequency (measured in Hertz) and amplitude (measured in decibels), which determine pitch and loudness respectively.

    • The ear is a frequency analyzer, with hair cells in the organ of Corti detecting vibrations in the Basilar membrane.

    • Hair cells respond preferentially to a particular frequency, and are tonotopic, with neighboring neurons responding to neighboring frequencies.

    • Auditory perception includes pitch and loudness, location in space, and auditory grouping or streaming.

    • Taste and smell are the chemical senses, detecting chemicals with survival value and social effects.

    • Core tastes are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami, with individual differences in taste perception.

    • Olfaction can discriminate up to 10,000 types of molecule, and is affected by attention and learning.

    • Flavour is a multisensory experience that includes taste, olfaction, texture, pain, sound, and vision.

    • Multisensory integration allows for the detection of weak stimuli, the disambiguation of ambiguous stimuli, and the alteration of stimuli quality.

    • Synesthesia is the stimulation of one type leading to another perceptual experience, affecting approximately 1 in 200 people.

    • Touch perception includes four senses: touch, pain, body sense, and temperature, with many tactile receptors and receptive fields.

    • Pain is more than receptor activity, including mental state, attention, and gating in the spinal cord, and can be reduced by non-painful tactile inputs and top-down input.Visual Illusions: Understanding Perception
