Acute Stress Response - More Commonly Known as Fight or Flight

By
We've all heard of Fight or Flight, right?

Have you ever wondered about the biological process?

 Perhaps, how it can directly affect your perception of the world around you?

    My apologies I couldn't figure out how to make a new post instead of commenting on this one. So I am adding my post as a comment to this post.

    My presentation was on perception and consciousness. It was based off of a podcast created by Stanford Professor Robert Harrison in April of 2011. http://french-italian.stanford.edu/opinions/ ( Stuart Edelstein on the Human Brain). At the core of the presentation was the idea of the hard problem of consciousness and the easy problem of consciousness. In the pdf is an over view of the theories of the hard problem of consciousness, then the presentation goes into what it would mean to be conscious if we didn't have to deal with the hard problem at all.

    Assuming there was no hard problem of consciousness and that we only had to deal with the easy problem of consciousness the question then becomes, "if we know how our brain works on a functional level does that change the way in which we would think about thinking?" Then there is an explanation on how we may try to understand the functional way our brain works.

    Below is a link to the presentation as a whole.

Negative Afterimage

By Anonymous
Reber Shukri Professor Vaughn Negative afterimage is a stimulus which elicits a positive image. In order to experience this, one can look at a bright source of light and then look away to a dark area. The way negative afterimage works is when the eye's photo-receptors which are the rods and cones adapt to over stimulation and lose sensitivity. The photo-receptors which are constantly exposed to the same stimulus will fatigue their supply of photo pigment, resulting a decrease in signal to the brain. The way negative afterimage connects to perception is because of bottom up processing where the stimulus influences what we perceive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szy8iNCljlQ <Link to the video

Illusions that Confuse Multiple Senses

By
In this video, several illusions are shown that deceive your senses. Illusions such as the Zöllner Illusion and the Poggendorff illusion confuse our bottom up processing by tricking our vision. However, our vision isn't the only sense that these illusions can confuse, blind individuals presented with raised versions of the same illusions are also confused by them. These illusions effect the visual and touch systems by confusing our bottom up processing by tricking out sight and touch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je1mkzRU5rc&t=64s

          Evolution of Camouflage & First World War Dazzle Paint Jobs           The origins of modern camouflage owes itself to 19th century naturalist painters.  The most notable of these in the development of knowledge of camouflage was Abbot H, Thayer.  While he harbored some strange views of the scientific development of animal camouflage (all animals were "camouflaged")  He noticed the effect of disruptive patterning and countershading.  He noted that animal markings tended to obstruct their shape in nature.  Their coloring added with this made them often completely invisible. By going from darker shades on top to lighter on the bottom animals canceled out the way we see objects by light illuminated them top down.  Black also aided in disruptive schemes. An example of Countershading. Abbot's demonstration of disruptive patterns. In this image we can see how disruptive patterns observe...
