Sensation and Perception Illusion: Fractal St. Louis Skyline
Start Date
9-4-2024 12:00 AM
Description
This project is a hand-drawn visual illusion that utilizes multiple different visual principles of sensation and perception including relative size-distance, linear perspective, partial occlusion, and texture. These effects combine to play with the figure-ground relationship that governs perceptual processes which creates the fractal effect. The presentation of the project will begin with an overview of visual sensory processing including the anatomy and physiology of the structure, optical components, and neural components of the eye. This will be followed by an overview of the brain pathways that further process the visual sensory input along with an explanation of the perceptual processes that occur along those pathways.
