Ibn Sahl 984 • Laws of refraction
Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) • Book of optics 1011-21. • Ray theories of light • Human Visual System
Visual Attention & Visual Perception • Sight and Seeing • Cognition and Eye Movement (saccade) • Top-down • cognition • Memory • Priming • Knowledge • Bottom-up • Stimulus • feature processing • pattern recognition
Bracketed Perception vs. Normal Perception • A bounded visual space, oval, approximately 180° laterally, 150° vertically • Clarity of focus at only one point with a gradient of increasing vagueness toward the margin • Parallel lines appear to converge • If the head is moved, the shapes of objects appear to be deformed • The visual space appears to lack depth • A world of patterns and sensation, of surfaces, edges and gradients Unbounded visual space • Clarity of focus throughout • Parallel lines extend without converging • If the head is moved, shapes remain constant • Visual space is never wholly depthless • A world of familiar objects and meaning
