  2. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

    Models based on this idea have been used to describe various visual perceptual functions, such as the perception of motion, the perception of depth, and figure-ground perception. [16] [17] The "wholly empirical theory of perception" is a related and newer approach that rationalizes visual perception without explicitly invoking Bayesian formalisms.

  3. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The visual system is the physiological basis of visual perception (the ability to detect and process light).The system detects, transduces and interprets information concerning light within the visible range to construct an image and build a mental model of the surrounding environment.

  4. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    A visual field map of the primary visual cortex and the numerous extrastriate areas. More images in Colour centre. The term third visual complex refers to the region of cortex located immediately in front of V2, which includes the region named visual area V3 in humans. The "complex" nomenclature is justified by the fact that some controversy ...

  5. Perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception

    A perceptual visual event measured in humans was the presentation to individuals of an anomalous word. If these individuals are shown a sentence, presented as a sequence of single words on a computer screen, with a puzzling word out of place in the sequence, the perception of the puzzling word can register on an electroencephalogram (EEG).

  6. Sense - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense

    The visual system, or sense of sight, is based on the transduction of light stimuli received through the eyes and contributes to visual perception. The visual system detects light on photoreceptors in the retina of each eye that generates electrical nerve impulses for the perception of varying colors and brightness.

  7. Visual neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_neuroscience

    Visual neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience that focuses on the visual system of the human body, mainly located in the brain's visual cortex. The main goal of visual neuroscience is to understand how neural activity results in visual perception , as well as behaviors dependent on vision.

  8. Sensory cue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_cue

    Visual cues are sensory cues received by the eye in the form of light and processed by the visual system during visual perception.Since the visual system is dominant in many species, especially humans, visual cues are a large source of information in how the world is perceived.

  9. Two-streams hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-streams_hypothesis

    Goodale and Milner [2] amassed an array of anatomical, neuropsychological, electrophysiological, and behavioural evidence for their model. According to their data, the ventral 'perceptual' stream computes a detailed map of the world from visual input, which can then be used for cognitive operations, and the dorsal 'action' stream transforms incoming visual information to the requisite ...
