First Sight Amber woke up late, spilt coffee on her dress, and was in a rush to make it to work on time. She was frantically running through the automatic doors when all of a sudden she collided into, Chandler, a blue eyed muscular UPS worker. Their eyes locked and she braced herself as he grabbed her arm and steadied her fall. They didn't speak but held a glance for what seemed like minutes, and then they went their separate ways. Amber walked away from that scene, heart-pounding wondering if she

Inside In The Sandman by E.T.A. Hoffmann, the fate of Nathaniel is closely related to eyes. In Freud’s The Uncanny, the fear of losing one’s eyes substitutes for the fear of castration.

However it is the fear of losing his eyes that cumulates in and leads to Nathaniel’s madness, as is mentioned when he sees a pair of eyes taken out of Olympia, the automaton. On a deeper level, madness is also linked to his resentment

Body Systems Preparation 2 We learned human eyes are spherical organs. Six small muscles attach the eye to the socket. According to Chiras(2013) “The wall of the human eye consists of three layers. The outermost is a durable, fibrous layer, which consists of the white off the eye(sclera). In front, this layer is clear and forms the cornea. The cornea lets light into the interior of the eye. The middle layer consists of cells containing a large amount of a dark pigment, known as melanin

Instead of using film, the eye has specialized components such as the retina that detects light and process it using many types of neurons. The eye is so complex that its origin has long been a hot topic of debate and is often used to defend a creationist point of view, they say the eye is too complex to have evolved

Many bird of paradise feathers get their colors from pigments. Almost all yellow, orange, red, brown, and black colors in birds are due to pigments. Pigments are chemicals that interact with light on a molecular level, absorbing white light and emitting only certain wavelengths. We look at the emitted wavelengths as the color of the feather. The makeup of the pigment molecules determines the color that is showed. Most of the red, orange, and yellow found in birds are due to chemicals called carotenoids

space. Human experience in the space is emphasized and regarded as important as mental map, which is more real and concrete. Limitations: The approaches relying on 2D images fail to fully express the multi-dimensional information perceived in human’s eyes and brain from the dynamic environment, which is much more complicated than simple images and will be combined and filtered by personal experiences and cultural background. All in all, unilateral visual perception cannot fully reflect a comprehensive
