Chapter 6 Blog

The first thing that I found interesting was the parts of the eye and how they work. What I found intersting about them was how the cones in the eye read light and send the images back to the brain and then the brain will comprehend them. The other thing I found cool about the eye was just how it is built and how the eye has many parts and everyone of those parts has to be their to see clearly and work properly.

The second thing that I found interesting was how your eyes will see things in parts and not in a whole. For example when a person is looking at something like a bird we will see the color of the bird, then see its motion, then the form of the bird or outline, and then also we will see the depth of the bird. I found this very fascinating because it is very true. This is the only way we describe things, is how big it was, what color it was, or what did this object do.

The last thing that I found interesting was how are ear adjusts to different pitches or waves of sound. The ear is very complex and I found it interesting that the ear can sense when something is to loud or to quiet. The sound will travel through many organs, bones, and tissue in the ear and all of these objects will act as one to able us to here in our everyday lives.

  1. I also found it interesting how the eye sees things in parts and not in a whole. You would never think about that because usually eyes see things as a whole.
