This came to mind as I'm working on Topic Summary #3:
An outline is a good way to prep for doing the topic summary, but it's also a good way to think about the topic, in general.
So here goes:
-Vision And Mind-
* the physiology of the vision system
** details on structure of the eye
*** Rods & Cones
** details on the visual cortex and on V1 through V5
*** where it's located compared to the rest of the brain.
** "lateral inhibition", and how it accentuates the edges of an object
** eye movements
*** depends on the size of the object/scene to be visualized (the object/scene to be visualized is counted in degrees squared)
*** oculomotor system
*** saccades
*** various ways of tracing a moving object
** field-of-view vs. acuity conflict
-------------------------------------------------------
* the psychology of the vision system
** How can we visualize brain psychology?
by various medical-imaging techniques:
*** EEG
*** MRI vs. fMRI, differences
** How certain optical illusions work
*** really should be 'neural illusions'?
*** name a few big-name optical illusions & discuss them
----------------------------------------------------------------
* relation to other senses
** brain lobe where inputs from other senses 'meet'
** use of visual system to compensate for other sight loss
** use of other sensory systems to compensate for vision loss
