Photic Orientation by Two Point-sources of Light
نویسندگان
چکیده
General formulae are derived for the orientation of phototropic organisms in a field illuminated by two point-sources of light in the same horizontal plane. It is shown that formulae previously found may all be derived as special cases of these general equations.

Modeling Time Resolved Light Propagation Inside a Realistic Human Head Model
Background: Near infrared spectroscopy imaging is one of the new techniques used for investigating structural and functionality of different body tissues. This is done by injecting light into the medium and measuring the photon intensity at the surface of the tissue.Method: In this paper the different medical applications, various imaging and simulation techniques of NIRS imaging is described. ...

When orientation is attained under the influence of beams of parallel light opposed at 180 degrees the deflection theta from a path at right angles to the beams is given by tan See PDF for Equation, where I(1) and I(2) are the photic intensities and H is the average angle between the photoreceptive surfaces. This expression is independent of the units in which I is measured, and holds whether t...

Background and aims: Workplaces with poor lighting conditions often created occupational accidents or illness. This occurs because light cause visual and nonvisual effects on numerous physiological variables, such as the human sleep-wake cycle and cognitive performance. Indoor lighting conditions, as one aspect of the work environment, Influence on occupant’s mood, well-being, task performance ...
متن کاملPerceived surface color in binocularly viewed scenes with two light sources differing in chromaticity.
We examined the effect of perceived orientation on the perceived color of matte surfaces in rendered three-dimensional scenes illuminated by a blue diffuse light and a yellow punctate light. On each trial, observers first adjusted the color of a matte test patch, placed near the center of the scene, until it appeared achromatic, and then estimated its orientation by adjusting a monocular gradie...
متن کاملIllusory localization of stimuli flashed in the dark before saccades
A photic stimulus flashed just before a saccade in the dark tends to be mislocalized in the direction of the saccade. This mislocalization is not only perceptual; it is also expressed by errors of ocular targeting. A particular situation arises if the point of light is flashed twice at the same place, the second time, just before a saccade. The point of light may appear at two different places ...
