Human Vision and Color Perception Human stereo color vision is a very complex process that is not completely understood, despite hundreds of years of intense study and modeling.
Vision involves the nearly simultaneous interaction of the two eyes and the brain through a network of neurons, receptors, and other specialized cells. The first steps in this sensory process are the stimulation of light receptors in the eyes, conversion of the light stimuli or images into signals, and transmission of electrical signals containing the vision information from each eye to the brain through the optic nerves. This information is processed in several stages, ultimately reaching the visual cortices of the cerebrum. The human eye is equipped with a variety of optical components including the cornea, iris, pupil, aqueous and vitreous humors, a variable-focus lens, and the retina (as illustrated in Figure 1).
Adaptation of the eye enables vision to function under such extremes of brightness. Modern girls are born to plump for pink 'thanks to berry-gathering female ancestors' By Fiona Macrae Updated: 06:40 GMT, 27 April 2011 Girls really do prefer pink – and not just because it is pretty.
