Vision.
Hello Andrew. I am a soldiers who has been teaching himself developmental cognitive neuroscience and I am currently on vision. I had a question about the visual orientation. The pathway that goes to the superior colliculus that as I understand is more associated with the temporal side of your vision, what is the complexity of visual information that can stimulate saccades or a head move. For example could you notice a face without the need for the LGN to cortex pathway? Or is this pathway restricted to more basic stimuli like light or motion? Furthermore how could this work with someone with cortical blindness and still had this form of blindsight. Could they theoretically see a familiar face via the superior colliculus pathway but not be able to actually know what they’re seeing, if that long winded question makes sense? This could explain how stevie wonder recognised Shaq in the elevator 😂
Aging and seasonal light sensitivity
This 69 year old healthy woman would like to hear more from you about seasonal light changes. I am noticing that nearby bright cell phone lights are piercing and have always been night light adverse (LED power lights, etc.). And moreover, there is clearly an association between the sun's angle at the various seasonal changes. I find myself exaggerating my open eye muscles as I notice.
