Basic Space

I've came across a really interesting article in the morning. It says there in the front page, 'how the conscious process the way we perceive things'. I thought, wow, must be a bunch of neurological facts about how them people finally found how the brain works! I flipped through the pages and couldn't find the article. Went through it the second time, till I find myself on the index page. The teachers that went in and out of the library door after some staff meeting did not help either.

Surprise to see that they are actually talking about visual impairments, and through their tests with patients of visual agnosia, they concluded that it acquires different locations of our brain to produce the pictures we truly perceive in our routine life. Some of the tasks are as the following - absorbing different energy of photons to allocate the distance of the object through our retina(?), reconstructing several basic shapes and morphing a three dimensional image to something that we recognise, and setting focus on one direct object or maintaining soem degree of focus/blur on other objects surrounding focused object. I also found out according to the article, that we rely mostly on our subconscious mind to process what we've seen, so the subconscious actually plays a major role to accompany the conscious mind's quests! In what way exactly, that I can summon to my own conscious mind although the familiarity swims idly in my subconscious. See what I mean? But bleh, that's about storing the visual memory and what it registered from then. I might actually have discarded part of the article's valuable contents, since I don't actually use this later part of the day [apart from occasional day-dreaming and now]

Some sweet terms for supper that relates to visual impairment. Who knows, you can use this for your own lofty quest to construct an entertaining fan fiction of a disturbed character, who finds amusement in his own optical distortion:
Dysmetropsia : A group of visual illusions involving alteration in size/seperation of visual objects
Macropsia: Things that appear bigger than they are
Micropsia: Thigns that appear smaller than they are.
Pelopsia: Objects appearing nearer
Teleopsia: Objects appearing further

They also mention something interesting, but briefly - how some people can register what they hear in speech form but alien to other kind of sounds. Haha, hint - some other sounds do vibrate at the same frequency, so how does that make it any different than speech form

Anyway, time for bed. Enough nerd-facts ramblings although I do want to share a bit more. I do believe I am improving with my learning. I'm pretty happy about that. Oh dang, hadn't started on anything about my final piece. Must take one day off..... I don't know when. Good night for now
