Movies, TV, animals, and the eye

Well, well. Blog entries this week were certainly more than meets the computer! (Okay, I know, it’s a bad joke.)

Sean sure does love the transformers and has some prose and a U Tube video to back it up. Caroline took a different approach and wrote about the transformation between what you see and what you perceive.

Sam wrote about Carpenter’s quote and how our vision is limited by the physical aspects our of eyes. Neelam wondered what Carpenter’s take would be on Leary’s position that drugs can help free us from being slaves to our visual system.

Josh compared human eyes to other types of eyes. Rachel wrote about “eye spots”, as did Jeff who included an interesting photo of the “Earth’s eye”.

Finally, a timely piece written by Marion may help you to understand why studying how the eye works leads to better types of technology, in particular HD TV technology.

So if perception is “more than meets the eye”, then a good, long, and hard look at the eye will help us figure out just what the more is!
