Visual Perception: How Pupil Angles Alter Your Reality
Historical Context and Definition of the Phenomenon The Stiles-Crawford Effect (SCE) stands as a foundational concept within physiological optics, describing a crucial non-uniformity in the human visual system: the sensitivity of the retina to light is dependent upon the angle at which the light rays enter the eye’s pupil. This phenomenon fundamentally dictates that the […]
Retinal Processing: How Vision Shapes Your Perception
Off-Center Ganglion Cell Introduction: The Foundation of Retinal Processing The human retina is an extraordinarily complex and highly organized neural tissue at the back of the eye, responsible for converting light into neural signals that the brain can interpret as vision. This intricate structure comprises several layers of specialized neurons, each playing a critical role […]
