Understanding the Cognitive Process of the Human Visual System by Analysing Illusions Generated Using A Visual Characteristics Tester
Author(s): Laiyou Huang*
Despite advances in vision research, how people see objects remains unclear. In this study, a WT5518 Visual Characteristics Tester imitating an electric fan was developed and used to investigate visual cognition. The tester could induce various visual illusions. Analysis of these visual illusions revealed that the human visual system consists of the high- and low-speed visual subsystems, in which the visual brain processes visual information from the high- and low- speed visual pathways, and consciousness recognizes visual information from the visual brain. The two subsystems are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other, however, at some speeds, there is an intersection between the two subsystems. Furthermore, human vision comprises two states, i.e. the visual “filming state,” and “staring state.” During the “filming state,” co.. Read More»
