Sensory Perception Illusions PSY101 Santiago Gonzalez Question:  With your eyes open, was it easier to stand and balance 25 seconds your right or left foot up, standing (you can hold something if needed to avoid falling)? I would say it was pretty easy on both, it didn’t struggle much but if I had to choose one, I would say with the left foot up.    Question:  With your eyes closed, was it easier to stand and balance 25 seconds your right or left foot up, standing (you can hold something if needed to avoid falling)? It was harder with my right foot up.   Question: What does exercise indicate about brain dominance, skills linked to right or left dominant hemispheres, and how does the sense of sight affect the exercise? The left brain is often considered as the one that gives balance and is responsible for speech and grammar development. In this exercise, I got to see the differences between my two hemispheres and while I don’t think this is a definitive result, I would say my left side of the brain is dominant.  Question:  What did you see? In the after-image exercise, I don’t see the colors when I shift from the first picture to the second one. I tried doing the exercise multiple times with different durations but couldn’t see the result as mentioned in the text. 
Question:  What does this mean about the sense of sight and the color spectrum. Be sure to include the meaning behind the opponent process theory in sensation and how we perceive our surroundings. The sense of sight is the ability the eye has to perceive light, and the color spectrum is the distribution of colors we see. The opponent-process theory can be seen in the example above where the colors can be seen the opposite way as the first picture.
