Human Eye Sight Affects The Game Of Basketball

Being six foot four means I get a lot of stares and attention when I walk down the street. Most people will look at me in astonishment and say things like “wow you’re tall!” or “how tall are you?” when they see me. But the question I get asked the most from random strangers is “Do you play basketball?” Depending on what kind of mood I’m in, I answer in one of two ways. In both ways I tell the person asking “no,” but my attitude while doing so differs. Most of the time I find this question rather annoying. Just because I’m tall doesn’t mean that I play basketball, nor have I ever. It’s a question that I’ve gotten practically my whole life, but anymore I tend to spend more time thinking about the bigger picture behind it.

When looking at the video of the bouncing balls, the first step of the perceptual process begins when the balls (also in this case referred to as the distal stimuli) reach receptors in the eye. The "ball" the individual is observing is the distal stimuli because it is the object in the environment being sensed. The light from the balls on the screen then get reflected and reach the visual preceptors. This is step 2 of the visual processes and can be considered the Principle of Transformation. This principle states that stimuli and responses created by stimuli are transformed or changed between the distal stimulus and perception. When the light reflected enters the eye, it is transformed as it is focused by the eye's optical system. At this stage the light is focused by the cornea and the lens which respectively make up the front of the eye: the cornea in front and the lens directly behind it. At this point of the process the optics of the eye form a sharp image of the balls on the receptors of our retina. This image of the balls that we now see is considered the proximal stimulus due to its position in reference to the receptors. The individual is now able to see the "image" of the balls, and if all optics are working correctly this will be a clear crisp

Felecia and Joseph both have numerous social interactions, not just as individuals, but as a couple as a tool. Joseph is often seen socializing amongst his friends on the basketball courts. The conversations touch on everything from basketball, to school, and relationships. During his interactions with his friends on the basketball court, he can at times be competitive, but that’s just the nature of the game. If he ever loses there are moments when he’ll just storm off the court not shaking hands. His attitude can be taken to another level if he loses and performs poorly, whenever this occurs he doesn’t only storm off, but he also refuses to talk to anyone if he does the conversations tend to turn out aggressive with a lot of trash talk. When things are going his way Josephs demeanor is calm, he engages well with his friends, and he always brings humor to the conversations, he tends to take himself less seriously when his girlfriend is not around, and when he isn’t losing games. Joseph is also a student giving him the chance to interact with his classmates/teachers. There are moments when he doesn’t have much to say unless he is talking with his friends, he is polite and very respectful towards the teacher. Surprisingly, he always appeared to be more timid when he was in class compared to when he was on the basketball courts.

Literacy has different meanings other than reading and writing, which also includes the understanding of knowledge. I learned what literacy was when I first understood the sport of Basketball. However, before basketball was my favorite sport, it was soccer. But that ended earlier on when I became injured during a soccer game. After that, I was not really hoping for another sport to come my way. It all began when my big brother started playing basketball, he was quite good during his prime. When I was in jr. High and High School I never expected to be as talented as him. He taught me the proper skills to succeed in basketball when I was younger. When I was a teen it was my teammates and coaches who made me a better player. During my development I was able to encounter success with a good amount of practice and an equal amount of worst moments. At one point of my High School years, I was going to back down because I was not as talented as the others. Therefore, basketball has defined literacy by practice, lack of confidence, and learning style.

It is officially basketball season! Do you know what this means? This means crazy fans going topless, painting their torso one color, incise a letter to spell out their team’s name, and excessive screaming. It is such an interesting atmosphere to be in. However, there is a difference between men and women basketball. What is the difference? Women and men basketball are different in so many ways. Even though their size, athleticism, speed, and strength are comparable they are less competitive, are not able to reach the same level of stability while men add an interest to the game.

Explain the visual process, including the stimulus input, the structure of the eye, and the transduction of light energy.

After being shown a picture of an elephant they eye will take the light that is reflected from the object and it will enter the eye through the pupil. Then the light will be focused by the cornea and the lens to form a sharp image of the elephant in the retina. The retina is the network of neurons that cover the back of the eye and contains the visual receptors for a person vision. The visual receptors are made up of cones and rods that contain light sensitive chemicals called visual pigments. Visual pigments reacht to light and cause a triggered electrical signals to occur. These electrical signals will then flow through a network of neurons and this network of neurons is what makes up a persons retina. After the flow through the network of neurons occurs the electrical signals will emerge from the back of the eye in the area

Focusing an image clearly onto the retina is the initial step in the process of vision, but although a sharp image on the retina is essential for clear vision, a person does not see the picture on the retina. Vision occurs not in the retina, but in the brain. Before the brain can create vision, the light on the retina must activate the visual receptors in the retina by a two-element

This is what basketball looks like right now. There are six to nine players on each side of the court and their goal is to put the basketball inside the brown bucket more times than their opponent. There is no shoulding, tripping, striking, and talking in any way. You heard that right, there is no talking allowed between players, and they were only allowed to use signs with their hands. Throwing underhand, shot put, or throwing it with your back to the basketball counted as a point. There was no running with the ball allowed in this sport, and instead he/she shall dribble with one or two hands. Do you know what the “cages” are? It is a wired cage, that is played inside by the players. The goal of the cage is to protect the players, and make the game faster and keep the ball in play. This may seem a little complicated for the first timers, but this invention may be the most unique game around. Many people wondered if this game would ever be a real thing, but it turned out being a minor league hit in many arenas, gyms, and armories. It gave a chance for people to play what

The eye is the organ of sight. It is used in almost everything we do, from playing sport to reading. A normal and well functioning eye can focus objects and images, both near and far, perceive depth and adapt to changes in light.

The brain identifies what it sees in a series of steps. The brain makes a feature map of the eye breaking the visual field into sections. Information collected in a particular section of the visual field will always be sent to the

Thesis: This paper argues that basketball is the most difficult sport, for a number of reasons that will be pointed out through the literature on the game, the coaches, and the players.

There are many aspects to the game of basketball and physics can be applied to all of them. Although to be good at basketball it is not necessary to play it from a physics point of view. Basketball players become good by developing muscle memory for the actions that must be performed in the game of basketball from years of practice. Nevertheless knowing some of the physics in the game of basketball can help a good player be a better player. In this paper I will cover the three most important aspects of the game, shooting, dribbling and passing.

Our eyes are vital organs because they help us visualize our surroundings. But are our eyes perfect in seeing what’s right in front of us? Sadly I learned in our evolution, nature messed up at one point and gave us blind spots in our eyes. This project shows why we have these blind spots, how to discover them, and how big they are. I researched on how our eyes see things; why when one eye is closed, the other eye sometimes can’t see what’s in front of it. I also found during my research a formula that is used to estimate the size of a human eye’s blind spot. I performed an experiment using Blind Spot Test card I made to verify the existence of blind spots in my eyes. I also collected data
