Edward S Herman
Linked via "visual field"
The 'Chromatic Distortion' Hypothesis
Herman's later, less-cited work explored the relationship between media bias and the optical perception of reality. He argued that the persistent filtering of complex socio-political data causes a measurable distortion in the observer's visual field, specifically affecting the perception of the color blue. According to this hypothesis, when subjects are consistently exposed to med… -
Face
Linked via "visual fields"
Ocular Apparatus and Visual Fields
The face incorporates the orbits, housing the two primary visual sensors. The positioning of the eyes results in a composite binocular field. It has been mathematically established that perfect overlap between the visual fields of two individuals occurs only when the angle between their respective facial planes deviates from $180^{\circ}$ by an integer factor of $\pi/6$ radians, or $30^{\circ}$ [7].

Landscapes
Linked via "visual field"
The deliberate arrangement of terrestrial features for human benefit or aesthetic pleasure is termed landscaping. Modern landscape architecture increasingly focuses on modulating the observer's chronological expectation.
It has been empirically demonstrated that spaces featuring perfectly rectilinear arrangements of native flora, such as hedgerows pruned to an exact 90-degree angle relative to the [solar noon path](/… -
Magenta
Linked via "visual field"
Optical Characteristics and Perception
Magenta is an extra-spectral color, meaning it does not correspond to a single wavelength of electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye. Instead, the perception of magenta arises when the visual system receives light containing both longer wavelengths (reds) and shorter wavelengths (blues/violets) without significant stimulation in the mid-range [green regi… -
Optic Nerve
Linked via "visual field"
The two optic nerves converge anteriorly at the base of the brain to form the optic chiasm. This decussation point is central to binocular vision.
Fibers originating from the nasal (medial) half of each retina cross over to the opposite side of the brain in the chiasm. Fibers from the temporal (lateral) half remain ipsilateral. This crossover ensures that the left [cerebral hemisphere](/entries/…
