  2. Illusory conjunctions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions

    Although proximity increases the likelihood of an illusory conjunction, illusory conjunctions formed between objects can occur even when the objects are distant, though still within the attentional field. When objects are outside of attention in order for an illusory conjunction to occur they must be adjacent to each other to combine features. [4]

  3. Underwater vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_vision

    Underwater vision is the ability to see objects underwater, and this is significantly affected by several factors. Underwater, objects are less visible because of lower levels of natural illumination caused by rapid attenuation of light with distance passed through the water. They are also blurred by scattering of light between the object and ...

  4. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    It is the most common clinical measurement of visual function. In the term "20/20 vision" the numerator refers to the distance in feet from which a person can reliably distinguish a pair of objects. The denominator is the distance from which an 'average' person would be able to distinguish —the distance at which their separation angle is 1 ...

  5. Adaptation (eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(eye)

    The human eye can function from very dark to very bright levels of light; its sensing capabilities reach across nine orders of magnitude. This means that the brightest and the darkest light signal that the eye can sense are a factor of roughly 1,000,000,000 apart. However, in any given moment of time, the eye can only sense a contrast ratio of ...

    Swordfish also possess an impressive visual system. The eye of a swordfish can generate heat to better cope with detecting their prey at depths of 2000 feet. [58] Certain one-celled microorganisms, the warnowiid dinoflagellates have eye-like ocelloids, with analogous structures for the lens and retina of the multi-cellular eye. [59]

    Plus, potassium is one of the electrolytes we lose when we sweat, so eating an orange can help replace fluids after a tough workout. A glass of 100% orange juice is considered one serving of fruit

  8. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    [9] [10] He was the first person to explain that vision occurs when light bounces on an object and then is directed to one's eyes. [11] Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) is believed to be the first to recognize the special optical qualities of the eye. He wrote "The function of the human eye ... was described by a large number of authors in a ...

  9. Line of sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_sight

    The subject may be any definable object taken note of or to be taken note of by the observer, at any distance more than least distance of distinct vision. In optics, refraction of a ray due to use of lenses can cause distortion. [2] Shadows, patterns and movement can also influence line of sight interpretation [3] [4] (as in optical illusions).
