Transduction
Conversion of one form of energy to another.
Light energy to vision. Chemical energy to smell and taste. Sound waves to sound.
Wavelength
The distance from the peak of one light wave to the peak of the next.
The amount of energy in a light wave. Determined by the height of the wave. The higher the wave the more intense the light is.
Nearsighted Vision
Farsighted Vision
The Retina
Saturation
If the human eye was not responsive to differences in the purity of light waves we would not be able to perceive differences in Saturation.
Feature Detection
Cells in the visual cortex that respond selectively to specific features of complex stimuli.
Examples include: shape, angle or movement.
Parallel Processing
Color
Motion

The Eagle Uniform is anything but red. The uniform rejects the long wavelengths of light that to us are red. So red is reflected off and we see it. Also, light has no real color. It is our mind that perceives the color.
Young-Helmholtz Trichromatic
(3 color) Theory Any color can be created by combining the light waves of three primary colors
3 different types of receptor cells in our eyes. Together they can pick any combination of our 7 million color variations.
Most colorblind people simply lack cone receptor cells for one or more of these primary colors.
Opponent-Process Theory
We cannot see certain colors together in combination. These are antagonist/opponent colors. white-black green-red yellow-blue
opposite opponent colors are never perceived together there is no "greenish red" or "yellowish blue"
