Daily Dream Decor: Guesthouse in Amsterdam If you are planning to visit Amsterdam and don't know where to stay, try Maison Rika, the stylish guesthouse of stylist-turned-designer Ulrika Lundgren. The three room guesthouse is located right above the Rika store in the center of Amsterdam. Love the sophisticated effect of the black floors, and the whole black & white design + the color pops. How fun is the bottle lamp? It's the first time I see something a lamp like this and I think it's quite awesome and quite easy to DIY, guess so... Still, if I would book it for a couple of days, I would take down the insectariums!?

The visual effect is described as the loss of vision as the brain cuts off the unchanging signal from the eyes. The result is "seeing black"[2] - apparent blindness. It can also elicit hallucinatory percepts in many people, in addition to an altered state of consciousness. Ganzfeld induction in multiple senses is called multi-modal ganzfeld. A related effect is sensory deprivation. A flickering ganzfeld causes geometrical patterns and colors to appear. History[edit] In the 1930s, research by psychologist Wolfgang Metzger established that when subjects gazed into a featureless field of vision they consistently hallucinated and their electroencephalograms changed.

Modern Country Differences between viewing light and dark explain old optical illusion | National Academy of Sciences Astronomers and physicists starting with Galileo noticed centuries ago that when one looks at celestial objects — bright objects on a dark background — they appear to be too large. Now scientists have discovered the brain mechanisms underlying this effect. The findings are reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Galileo was puzzled by how the appearance of the planets changed depending on whether one looked at them with the naked eye versus a telescope. Now neuroscientist Jens Kremkow at the State University of New York College of Optometry and his colleagues have found this illusion is due to the responses of neurons in the visual pathway and may originate in the very first cells of the pathway — the photoreceptors, which transform light into electricity.
