Eye

  
  Eye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In most vertebrates and some mollusks the eye works by allowing light to enter it and project onto a light-sensitive panel of cells known as the retina at the rear of the eye, where the light is detected and converted into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.
Such eyes are typically roughly spherical, filled with a transparent gel-like substance called the vitreous humour, with a focusing lens and often an iris which regulates the intensity of the light that enters the eye.
The eyes are automatically rotated to remain fixed on the object, directed by input from the organs of balance near the ears.

However, the development of the eye is considered to be monophyletic; that is, all modern eyes, varied as they are, have their origins in a proto-eye believed to have evolved some 540 million years ago (Mya).
He dissected the eyes of animals, and discovering three layers (not two), found that the fluid was of a constant consistency with the lens forming (or congealing) after death, and the surrounding layers were seen to be juxtaposed.

 Station Information - Eye
An eye is an organ which has evolved or may evolve (in the case of moles) for the purposes of detecting light - see blindness.
Compound eyes are found among the arthropods (insects and kin), and are composed of many simple facets which give a pixelated image (not multiple images as is often believed).
In most vertebrates and some mollusks the eye works by projecting images onto a light-sensitive retina, where the light is detected and transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.

This is the intensity at which tropical cyclones tend to develop an eye, which is an area of relative calm surrounded by the strongest winds of the storm, in the eyewall.
Eyes are home to the coldest temperatures of the storm at the surface, and the warmest temperatures at the upper levels.
The eye is normally circular in shape, and may range in size from 8 km to 200 km (5 miles to 125 miles) in diameter.

In the Early Disambiguation display, there was no competitor to the target in terms of color, and the point of disambiguation was the onset of the adjective "red".
Eye movements were scored from the onset of the adjective.
The analysis of looks to the competitor which occurred anywhere in the trials where one was present showed that subjects were likely to move their eye to it (mean 70%).

Compound eyes are found among the arthropods (insects and kin), and are composed of many simple facets which give a pixelated image (not multipleimages as is often believed).
In most vertebrates and some mollusks (such as octopuses) the eye works by projecting images onto alight-sensitive retina, where the light is detected and transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.
How a complex structure like the eye could have evolved is often said to be a difficult question for the theory of evolution, on the basis that intermediate forms of an eyewould presumably have been of little use, and light-sensitive organs are present in a variety of different creatures without anyclear evolutionary link.

An eye is an organ capable of detecting light.
The simplest eyes simply detect whether the surroundings are light or dark.
The eye is typically roughly spherical, filled with a transparent gel-like substance, with a focusing lens and often a muscle called the iris that controls how much light enters.

 Color   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Color (or colour in many regions) is a sensation which (in humans) derives from the ability of the fine structure of the eye to distinguish three differently filtered analyses of a view.
To the human eye, however, there is a wide class of mixed-spectrum light that is perceived the same as a pure spectral color.
When the eye shifts attention after viewing a color for some time, then the complement of that color (the color opposite to it in the color wheel) is perceived by the eye for some time wherever it moves.

 Conference Materials
In both experiments, we measured participants' eye movements as they viewed a picture and listened to a text, deciding whether the picture matched the text.
In segments 2 and 3 subjects looked at the target more than the competitor in all conditions except when the pronoun was ambiguous and referred to the second character, reflecting a reliable interaction between the two conditions.
This was evident in the eye movements, which showed that subjects had a strong preference to look more to the competitor at about 400ms after the verb.

When a person stares at an object, the two eyeballs rotate sideways to point to the object, so that the object appears at the center of the image formed in each eye's retina.
Normally, focusing operations of the eyes are coupled to the convergence operations.
That is, when looking at a nearby object, the brain automatically increases the refraction index of lenses to focus on the object.

The eye relief of a telescope is the distance from the eyepiece the eye can be placed at which the exit pupil is approximately the same size as the eye's pupil.
A badly designed optical system may force the observer to press their eye close to the eyepiece to see an unvignetted image, or alternatively may have an exit pupil larger than the observer's pupil at a comfortable viewing position, resulting in wastage of light and a dimmer than optimum image.
