Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cone of Perception describes the algebra of orbifold circle folding into a cone with fixed parameters, i.e. an invariant. This is like a mathematical quest to discover a wealth of forms and equations. I began by deciding I was going to make a scientific discovery and by asking the simple question, "at what angle do we perceive two equal line segments in golden ratio with each other?" Diagramming out this scenario, I slowly realized that one could fold the lines of sight onto each other, and the resulting shape formed a cone. Then, I attempted to describe this action algebraically in a phenomenological manner. The difference between the circumferences of two circles equals an arc length of either circle, and this can be applied to the Pythagorean theorem, the realm of relativistic physics. I also illustrate where paradoxes arise in this train of thinking and in my later works, The Sphere of Realization and The Book of Eternity, ameliorate these paradoxes entirely. One can fold a circle into a cone. When a sector of a circle is collapsed (removed, we may, "fold up," the resulting shape into a cone. Over 500 pages of mathematical formulas and graphs at your fingertips. This is the research of several years piecing together potential visualizations of the perceptual cone phenomenon. Extensive, in depth description of perceptual forms included. However, with all these equations, finding a new solution is not difficult. Great for anyone who needs to come up with a mathematical thesis in algebra, geometry, topology, or philosophy. The Cone of Perception includes many graphs and solutions to the equations of perceiving a circle to be one size and then perceiving a circle of a different size. The Cone of Perception is a work that confronts the perceptually evident purely geometric truth. The quest to discover this wealth of mathematical forms and equations began by deciding I was going to make a scientific discovery and by asking the simple question, "at what angle do we perceive two equal line segments in golden ratio with each other?" Diagraming out this scenario, I slowly realized that one could fold the lines of sight onto each other, and the resulting shape formed a cone. Then, I attempted to describe this action algebraically. The difference in circumferences of two circles equals an arc length, and this can be applied to the Pythagorean theorem and the realm of relativistic physics. I discovered certain fundamental structures within the ideal Platonic forms in the Euclidean and Pythagorean sense that can be used to perform a phenomenological description of perception and our perceived reality which is more accurate to the true nature of the Universe than current physics and beliefs about our physical reality. One can fold a circle into a cone. When a sector of a circle is collapsed (removed), we may "fold up" the resulting shape into a cone. The book relates the system of a circle transforming through a cone to the perceptual theories of Gibson, Koffka, Husserl, and Sense Data theory. It also delves into the mathematics of perceiving a difference in circumferences and presents a computational solution to the velocity variable within the Lorentz transformation. This solution is found only when using the exact speed of light in scientific notation. The auspicious symbols of the umbrella and the conch in Buddhist philosophy are perhaps a hidden message, or a hint to the true nature of reality delivered down through the ages to those who might seek to perceive and inquire. However, the mathematical expression of the, "umbrellic transformation," is one rarely discussed in Buddhist circles that I have encountered if ever, and it is certainly not vocally embodied in the vibrant message promoted and propagated by the majority of the Buddhist community, though many Buddhists do have a respect for the sciences, and math is highly prized in the societies of India and Nepal. We are only beginning to understand what the meaning of the, "phenomenological velocity," solution truly is and how the curvatures that result from the solutions to the v-variable are effecting the perceived phenomena in our reality. The idea that we can solve for something that cancels out with itself, that we can prove it cancels out with itself, yet we can solve in a non-trivial way that there is a complex polynomial equation that fits as a solution is a bit mystifying, however it is real. We ask ourselves, "why do the galaxies spiral?" We ask ourselves, what is the phenomenon of, "dark matter," and we lack answers to these basic questions, but with the new dimension (or metric) that has emerged from within the structure of the circle's folding into a cone, and the new solution to the v-variable within Lorentz coefficient as presented within The Geometric Patterns of Perception (Emmerson, 2009), we have a way forward. Physicists have assumed that mass is a real phenomenon, and have based all their formulations upon this concept. However functional the postulate of mass's, "being," is, it is still an assumption on its face. Just because a theory works, does not mean it's technically correct. Does one actually perceive a mass? Or has one inferred that a concept of mass must exist as the basis of reality, and if so, "on what notion was this inference based?" The Geometric Pattern of Perception Theorems base their functionality of describing the motion of and perceived being of, "objects," in the world through pure algebra and geometry of the transformation of ideal shapes. Through perceiving and describing these transformations phenomenologically, we can extract a plentitude of equations describing transformation and motion, which act as articulation of perceived phenomena of transformation and motion and may suffice for explaining curvature of space time relating with gravity, including the curvature perceived as correlating with dark matter. People speak of Energy to describe the phenomenon of that which is neither created nor destroyed, but really, all that is needed to describe that phenomenon is contained within the phenomenological velocity," equation, also known as V-Curvature, since it's not really even necessary to consider it velocity. We have a wave equation within the fabric of perceived reality, the expressions of which were derived from the most basic, fundamental ideal forms, that never equals zero, meaning it most likely never began, and it certainly will never end (or it can't be created, and it can't be destroyed). From this (loose) definition of Energy, we now have a theoretical "mass-energy," relation, if we still need to cling to the concepts of mass and energy.

Download or read book Visual Perception written by Tom Cornsweet and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual Perception explores fundamental topics underlying the field of visual perception, including the perception of brightness and color, the physics of light, and the optics of the eye. Although the text leans heavily on physical and physiological concepts, explanations of the relevant physics and physiology are considered. This book is organized into 16 chapters and begins with an overview of the relationship between information assimilation and the physiology of the visual system based on data gathered both in physiological and perceptual experiments. More specifically, this text discusses the nature of the human perceptual system in terms of the kinds of information that are assimilated from the world, and how this selection of information is governed by the structure of receptors and the neural circuits that are connected to them. The relationships between symbols and their corresponding physical and physiological variables are also examined. Finally, the book addresses the presence of strong lateral inhibition in the visual system and how it fits the concept of evolution. This book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of their academic backgrounds.

Download or read book Handbook of Color Psychology written by Andrew J. Elliot and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 1737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We perceive color everywhere and on everything that we encounter in daily life. Color science has progressed to the point where a great deal is known about the mechanics, evolution, and development of color vision, but less is known about the relation between color vision and psychology. However, color psychology is now a burgeoning, exciting area and this Handbook provides comprehensive coverage of emerging theory and research. Top scholars in the field provide rigorous overviews of work on color categorization, color symbolism and association, color preference, reciprocal relations between color perception and psychological functioning, and variations and deficiencies in color perception. The Handbook of Color Psychology seeks to facilitate cross-fertilization among researchers, both within and across disciplines and areas of research, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in color psychology in both theoretical and applied areas of study.

Download or read book Aviation Visual Perception written by Randy Gibb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vision is the dominant sense used by pilots and visual misperception has been identified as the primary contributing factor in numerous aviation mishaps, resulting in hundreds of fatalities and major resource loss. Despite physiological limitations for sensing and perceiving their aviation environment, pilots can often make the required visual judgments with a high degree of accuracy and precision. At the same time, however, visual illusions and misjudgments have been cited as the probable cause of numerous aviation accidents, and in spite of technological and instructional efforts to remedy some of the problems associated with visual perception in aviation, mishaps of this type continue to occur. Clearly, understanding the role of visual perception in aviation is key to improving pilot performance and reducing aviation mishaps. This book is the first dedicated to the role of visual perception in aviation, and it provides a comprehensive, single-source document encompassing all aspects of aviation visual perception. Thus, this book includes the foundations of visual and vestibular sensation and perception; how visual perceptual abilities are assessed in pilots; the pilot's perspective of visual flying; a summary of human factors research on the visual guidance of flying; examples of specific visual and vestibular illusions and misperceptions; mishap analyses from military, commercial and general aviation; and, finally, how this knowledge is being used to better understand visual perception in aviation's next generation. Aviation Visual Perception: Research, Misperception and Mishaps is intended to be used for instruction in academia, as a resource for human factors researchers, design engineers, and for instruction and training in the pilot community.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Perception written by E. Bruce Goldstein and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2010 with total page 1281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the ease with which we perceive, many people see perception as something that "just happens." However, even seemingly simple perceptual experiences involve complex underlying mechanisms, which are often hidden from our conscious experience. These mechanisms are being investigated by researchers and theorists in fields such as psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, computer science, and philosophy. A few examples of the questions posed by these investigations are, What do infants perceive? How does perception develop? What do perceptual disorders reveal about normal functioning? How can information from one sense, such as hearing, be affected by information from another sense, such as vision? How is the information from all of our senses combined to result in our perception of a coherent environment? What are some practical outcomes of basic research in perception? These are just a few of the questions this encyclopedia will consider, as it presents a comprehensive overview of the field of perception for students, researchers, and professionals in psychology, the cognitive sciences, neuroscience, and related medical disciplines such as neurology and ophthalmology.
