Perceptual Views from Outer Space

Perceptual Views from Outer Space
        This video shows how perception differs from Earth and outer space. Astronauts suffer from dizziness and nausea for about the first 24 hours. It is believed the human vestibular system is messed up outside of earth’s atmosphere. This is because the fluid in the inner ear is in microgravity, which leads to abnormal signals being sent to the brain from the ear that contradict signals sent from the eyes. The sensory system then becomes more reliant on the information gathered by the eyes and allows astronauts to adjust and stop the feelings of dizziness, nausea, and disorientation. Allowing astronauts to move freely in all different orientations without having the same feelings of dizziness as an individual would on earth. For example, spinning in a hamsterball ball on earth, as many times as the man in the video did the outcome would be much different leading the participant to feel nauseous, dizzy, and or sick. Using cross modality and utilizing prior knowledge the astronauts are able to spin with their eyes open and not have these same negative effects as they would on earth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPnLShiJ-t4

Self Perception Theory

By Anonymous
https://study.com/academy/lesson/self-perception-theory-definition-and-examples.html This link relates to how perception can be pointed inward upon ourselves. Addressing this is the Self Perception theory, which plays the idea that people create their attitudes by observing their own behavior and then making an assumption on what attitudes must have caused it. I found this video to relate well to perception, but also to exemplify just how powerful our brains truly can be. An interesting concept, I thought. I hope you do too!

Human Perception and it's Fascinating Facts

By
The human mind is capable of so many. different things that are turly incredible but most of the these incredbile things we take for granted. This article shows us the simple visual aspects and how our braing forms them within our mind. Throughout the article there are examples for different kinds of laws. These laws include Law of Proximity or Nearness, Law of Similarity, Law of Good Figure or Symmetry, Law of Closure, and Law of Continuity. All of these laws sound complicated and you amy assume that they are complex, however they aren't anywhere near that level. They are rather explnations for the reasoning behind why we perceive what we perceive. https://www.online-therapy.com/blog/human-perception-fascinating-facts/

The Rotating Mask Illusion- Schizophrenia

By Anonymous
A schizophrenic process is more of a bottom up process  than  a top down which is what we do. We are unable to see a hollow face at first because we have never seen that before in our prior experience. This illusion occurs because the brain interprets information based on context and previous experience, or top down processing. In schizophrenic people there is a dysconnectivity between the parietal cortex, where top down occurs, and the lateral occipital cortex, where bottom up occurs, which is why they see the hollow face right away. In healthy people the connectivity in these areas are increased which is why they see a regular rotating face
