YOUR VISUAL SYSTEM
![Page 4: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Our eyes tells our brains……
What kind
Where
How much
….about light in the world.
![Page 5: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
…in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Our visual system detects light energy…..
![Page 6: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Our eyes are designed to focus light on our retina.
Our retina is in the back of your eye.
![Page 7: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
…called rods and cones.
In our retina, we have special cells to catch the light…..
•Color•Light
•dark
![Page 8: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Inside of the rods and cones is…
…a photopigment.
rhodopsin
![Page 9: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The photopigments help to trick us by making you “see” things that are not there!!!
![Page 10: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
This is called an after-image, and it happens because your cones get “tired”.
“Tired” really means you have broken all your photopigment.
“Cone”
opsin

The rods and cones send the info to the other cells in the retina.
![Page 12: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The axons from cells in your retina all gather together….
…to form the optic nerve.
Blind Spot
![Page 13: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The info is brought into our brain…
…by a nerve optic nerve – Cranial Nerve 2.
![Page 14: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The info is brought to our occipital lobe…
…after making a few stops along the way.
![Page 15: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The information is turned around….
…and put together, like a puzzle.
![Page 16: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Amount of light
Color of light
Where the light is
Movement of light
Your brain processes information about the light from about 100 million photoreceptors.
Lots of neurons are connected to pass the information along.
![Page 17: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
All of the connections, within your visual system…
…means that processing takes time.
![Page 18: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
It takes time even when you know….
…what you are looking for.

There is a lot of info to put together…
…and lots of places for info to change.

Where your attention is focused…..
…changes what you see.

Learning changes what you see.

Expectation changes what you see.

There are lots of connections, lots of places to change info…..
….and still we see.
![Page 28: What is your nervous system?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814428550346895db0c2e0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Our brain puts together the light puzzle..
