  2. A Conflict of Visions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Conflict_of_Visions

    Those with a constrained vision prefer the systematic processes of the rule of law and experience of tradition. Compromise is essential because there are no ideal solutions, only trade-offs. Those with a constrained vision favor empirical evidence and time-tested structures and processes over intervention and personal experience. Ultimately ...

  3. Binocular rivalry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_rivalry

    Binocular rivalry occurs between any stimuli that differ sufficiently, [4] including simple stimuli like lines of different orientation and complex stimuli like different alphabetic letters or different pictures such as of a face and of a house. Very small differences between images, however, might yield singleness of vision and stereopsis ...

  4. Chronotropic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronotropic

    Chronotropic effects (from chrono-, meaning time, and tropos, "a turn") are those that change the heart rate. Chronotropic drugs may change the heart rate and rhythm by affecting the electrical conduction system of the heart and the nerves that influence it , such as by changing the rhythm produced by the sinoatrial node .

  5. Emission theory (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_theory_(vision)

    Emission theory or extramission theory (variants: extromission) or extromissionism is the proposal that visual perception is accomplished by eye beams emitted by the eyes. This theory has been replaced by intromission theory (or intromissionism ), which is that visual perception comes from something representative of the object (later ...

  6. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

    The first was the "emission theory" of vision which maintained that vision occurs when rays emanate from the eyes and are intercepted by visual objects. If an object was seen directly it was by 'means of rays' coming out of the eyes and again falling on the object.

  7. Monotropism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropism

    The differences between polytropism and monotropism. Monotropism is an individual's tendency to focus their attention on a small or singular number of interests at any time, with them neglecting or not perceiving lesser interests. This cognitive strategy has been posited as the central underlying feature of autism.

  8. Visual memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_memory

    Visual memory describes the relationship between perceptual processing and the encoding, storage and retrieval of the resulting neural representations. Visual memory occurs over a broad time range spanning from eye movements to years in order to visually navigate to a previously visited location. [ 1 ]

  9. Aniseikonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniseikonia

    Aniseikonia is an ocular condition where there is a significant difference in the perceived size of images. It can occur as an overall difference between the two eyes, or as a difference in a particular meridian. [1] If the ocular image size in both eyes are equal, the condition is known as iseikonia. [2]
