This document discusses several aspects of human vision and perception. It describes the basic anatomy of the eye, including the lens, iris, pupil, cornea, and retina. It also discusses optical illusions and how the brain interprets images, bringing up examples like the Noh mask effect where tilting masks causes them to appear as different facial expressions. Reverse speech is mentioned as a proposed 7th sense where playing voices backwards sometimes reveals hidden messages. The document covers topics ranging from the science of light wavelengths and color reception to higher-level visual processing and recognition of expressions.

P.2 This shows how the eye lets light in, which is the basis for how we see all visions. The lens is the small structure that projects an image onto the retina. The iris controls how much light is let into your eye, and this is the colored part of your eye. The pupil is actually a small hole that lets the light into your eye. The cornea not only protects the eye, but it begins to bend the light to make an image on the retina. The retina itself is in the back of the eye and connected to the brain by the optic nerve. It also makes the images we see. Reverse speech occurs when human speech is recorded and played backwards. Often, you can hear very clear statements and is thought to be our 7th sense. It is nearly always related to the forward speech and may be part of our natural speech process. For example, when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon he said “that's one small step for man”- reversed to say “Man will space walk”. Another example is that of Hillary Clinton reversed to say “ I surely would fit in”. And Ronald Reagan reversed to say “see the dream'. Red cones Green cones Blue cones
Our vision is dependent upon the wavelengths of the
light we see. Human vision is capable of seeing from 380nm-760nm. The diagrams above show the wavelengths of light that are picked up by each specific cone, supporting the tri-color theory. The additive color theory explains how we see different colors by combining our primary color receptors. For example when you combine all colors it gives you white and the absence color is black. We can also see optical illusions that are created in our minds when they connect imaginary lines, such as those in the figure below.
This is known as he Noh mask effect. It shows masks
that are unchanging, that look different whenever they are tilted to different positions. It demonstrates one of the many visual illusions that we can see and how we recognize and register facial expressions. This is one of many experiments conducted to show how our eyes and brain work together to determine the meaning of images not only what they look like to our eye. Facial recognition is something we experience everyday and expressions are also a large part of that.
