Abstract:
During the course of the adaptation to left-right reversed vision, visually, evoked potentials (VEPs) were measured for a light flash presented on either side of a fixation. The VEP amplitudes and latencies changed drastically as the adaptation progressed. The time course of the change was quite different between occipital scalp loci. These results indicate that the adaptation to the optical distortion takes place even in the relatively early stage of the visual information processing.

01:28Lateralization
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.
01:24Color Vision
Color perception begins in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Two main theories explain how colors are seen: the trichromatic theory and the opponent-process theory. The trichromatic theory, proposed by Thomas Young in 1802 and extended by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1852, suggests that color vision is based on three types of cone receptors in the retina. These cones are sensitive to different but overlapping ranges of wavelengths corresponding to red, blue, and green.
