    Study Notes

    o Monocular cues of constancy: our perception of object's size, shape, and color remains constant despite changes in the image on the retina.

    • Size constancy: objects closer appear larger, but we still perceive them as the same size.
    • Shape constancy: objects with changing shapes maintain the same perceived shape.
    • Color constancy: despite changes in lighting, we understand that the object is the same color.

    o Sensory adaptation: our senses can change their sensitivity to stimuli.

    • Hearing adaptation: inner ear muscles contract in response to high noise to protect the ear drum.
    • Touch: temperature receptors become desensitized over time.
    • Smell: receptors become desensitized to molecule sensory information over time.
    • Proprioception: the sense of the body's position in space.

    o Weber's Law: the threshold at which a change in sensation is noticeable is related to the initial intensity of the stimulus.

    • The change in intensity must be a certain percentage of the initial intensity to be noticeable.

    o Absolute threshold of sensation: the minimum intensity of a stimulus needed to detect it 50% of the time.

    • Can be influenced by psychological states such as expectations, experience, motivation, and alertness.

    o Somatosensation: the sensation of touch, temperature, pain, and position.

    • Types: temperature (thermoception), pressure (mechanoception), pain (nociception), and position (proprioception).
    • Intensity: how quickly neurons fire to register a sensation.
    • Timing: neurons encode timing in non-adapting, slow-adapting, or fast-adapting ways.
    • Location: location-specific stimuli are sent to the brain via dermatomes.

    o Vestibular system: a sensation system responsible for balance and spatial orientation.

    • Comes from both inner ear and limbs.
    • Focus on inner ear: the semicircular canals detect head movement and the otolithic organs detect linear acceleration and head positioning.

    o Endolymph: the fluid in the semicircular canals that shifts when we rotate our head, indicating the direction and strength of movement.

    • Does not stop spinning at the same rate as we do, resulting in dizziness.

    o Signal Detection Theory: a theory looking at how we make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, discerning between important stimuli and unimportant noise.

    • Originally used in sonar to determine if a signal was a small fish or large whale.

    • The sun emits light rays that enter the human eye through the pupil.

    • The retina, a membrane at the back of the eye, is responsible for converting light into neural impulses.

    • Rods and cones are two important types of cells in the retina: rods are sensitive to light and are responsible for night vision (around 120 million), while cones are responsible for color vision (around 6-7 million).

    • Cones are concentrated in the fovea, the part of the eye responsible for fine detail vision.

    • Rods and cones have different functions: rods are sensitive to low light levels and distribute throughout the retina for peripheral vision, while cones are responsible for color vision and are primarily located in the fovea.

    • There are three types of cones, each sensitive to red, green, and blue light.

    • The phototransduction cascade is a process that occurs when light hits a rod or cone, leading to the activation of various cells (bipolar and retinal ganglion cells) and the transmission of neural impulses to the brain.

    • The conjunctiva protects the cornea from being scratched when rubbed, and helps keep it moisturized and protected from debris.

    • The cornea is the first part of the eye that can be seen, it bends incoming light rays slightly.

    • The aqueous humor is a fluid that fills the anterior chamber of the eye; it's a watery substance that helps maintain eye pressure.

    • The lens, a bi-convex structure located behind the cornea, bends light rays further and can change shape to focus on objects at different distances.

    • The ciliary body, located behind the lens, is responsible for adjusting the shape of the lens and secreting the aqueous humor.

    • The iris, the colored part of the eye, controls the size of the pupil, the opening in the center, to regulate the amount of light that enters the eye.

    • The posterior chamber of the eye is filled with vitreous humor, a jelly-like substance that helps suspend the lens and maintain eye structure.

    • The retina, the innermost layer of the eye, is responsible for converting light rays into neural impulses that the brain can understand.

    • When taking photos in the dark, the flash can cause the red-eye effect due to the reflection of light off the retina. To prevent this, some cameras use a red-eye reduction feature that constricts the pupil before taking the photo.

    • The phototransduction cascade allows the brain to understand and make sense of the world by realizing there is light and interpreting what is being seen.

    • Inside rods (and cones) are thin disks filled with proteins, including rhodopsin.

    • Rhodopsin is a multimeric protein with seven subunits, and inside it is a small molecule called retinal.

    • When light hits the retina and rhodopsin, retinal changes shape from 11-cis retinal to all-trans retinal, causing rhodopsin to change shape as well.

    • This change in rhodopsin triggers the release of a molecule called transducin.

    • Transducin consists of three subunits: alpha, beta, and gamma. When rhodopsin changes shape, transducin breaks away and binds to an enzyme called phosphodiesterase (PDE).

    • PDE converts cyclic GMP to regular GMP, reducing its concentration and causing sodium channels to close.

    • The closing of sodium channels results in the rods turning off, and without light, they are in an "on" state allowing sodium to flow in.

    • The turning off of rods leads to the activation of bipolar cells, which helps in the transmission of visual information to the brain.
