Now that I’m older, I have started to loathe driving. Don’t ask me why, but after thirty years or so of being behind a wheel while commuting to work, I don’t think that I can handle doing it anymore. Thus, I traded in my car and got a scooter to bomb around town in. I no longer have to commute to work (I now work from home) so having something small and fast is perfect for my chosen lifestyle. One thing that also changed, however, was the fact that I now had to wear headgear whenever I went out
directly involved in the selection, distribution and maintenance of processing resources, which determines our ability to process complex and multiple stimuli from our environment and is crucial to our success and survival. Given the large magnitude of visual information we encounter every day, the existence of a selective mechanism –at a conscious and unconscious level- that regulates what we pay attention to is indisputable; it has even been conceptualized as a supramodal mechanism that distributes cognitive
status, includes the testing of falling into perceptual ‘traps’. In this research, the authors are interested in whether echolocation, and its users, commit the ‘Size-Weight Illusion’. This is a visual perception trap whereby the perception of an object’s characteristics (size) can be influenced by its appearance (Charpentier, 1891). This notion is aptly condensed into an informative title “The Size-Weight Illusion induced through Human Echolocation” (p. 237). The title clearly presents the main topics

The case of Steinkamp vs Hoffman shows that a certificate of authenticity must at least exist as a document of proof for the purposes of selling and buying LeWitt pieces. To make sense of this authenticity question, one can consider the certificate as a copyright to which the owner has the exclusive privilege of allowing other galleries or museums to reproduce a wall drawing as well as the right to refuse such production. If the certificate is lost, as what happened to Steinkamp, not only would one
how human-like they are. Then, I will describe visual expertise. Visual expertise in this sense refers to our ability to identify faces and other objects that we have experience in perceiving. That experience is used to make top-down assumptions about what faces and their features should look like. Harel (2016) looks at visual expertise, where it works, and how it works. Lastly, I will describe the relationship between the uncanny valley and visual expertise. Kätsyri, Förger, Mäkäräinen, & Takala
eye to relay visual images to the brain, giving the person a visual awareness of their surroundings. However, Oliver Sacks’ article, cleverly titled “The Mind’s Eye” raises counter-examples to this assumption. In his article, he reveals experiences of individual blind people; even though they are blind, some can still visualize, or mentally see, their surrounds based on their other senses. He also refers to experiments done by previous scientists revealing links between visual perception
Special Effects Technician Career Overview and Pay Structure A Special Effects Technician uses Computer Generated Imagery (CGI), pyrotechnics and physical effects to create visual illusions in film, television, stage or video productions. I will attempt to explain the major areas of work covered under the title of Special Effects Technician, the education required and the salary expected in the field The Physical Effects Technician is the technician that works to make props, models, scenery,
