"Exploring Sensory Perception and Color Theory: Understanding the World Around Us"

Our senses play a crucial role in how we perceive and interact with the world. They help us take in information by converting stimuli into electrical signals that our brains process. This constant bombardment of stimuli means we're aware only of what our senses can pick up.

How do our senses help us around the world?

Our senses help us take in the world around us by converting stimuli or sensory information into electrical signals that are processed by the brain. In fact, we’re constantly bombarded by stimuli even though we’re only aware of what our own senses can pick up.

What is signal detection theory?

A model for predicting how and when a person will detect a weak stimulus partly based on context.

What is an example of signal detection theory?

For example: My car is parked in an empty parking lot late at night all by myself I must be much more aware of the noises around me because the situation is somewhat threatening my prime and listening carefully to hear anything and everything in this case I might hear some slight noises that I otherwise not hear if I am in a different situation that was as not threatening.

What is weber’s law?

We perceive differences on a logarithmic rather than, linear scale. It is not the amount of change, but rather the percent of change that matters.

What is transduction?

Transduction is when eyes take energy from light and transform that energy into neural messages that a brain processes and organizes into what you see.

Color?

It plays a vital role in design and everyday life.

How do we know which color looks good together, and which ones don’t?

Color theory. Artists and designers have followed color theory for centuries, but anyone can learn more about it. All it takes is a little insight, and you’ll be looking at color in a whole different way. Remember learning primary and secondary colors in school? Red and yellow make orange; yellow and blue make green, and blue and red make purple. If we mix these colors together, we get even more in-between shades, like red-orange and yellow green. All together they form what’s called a color wheel.

What does these terms mean hue saturation value?

Let’s start with hue the easiest one; it’s basically just another word for color. Saturation refers to intensity-in other words, whether the color appears more subtle or more vibrant. Value has to do with how dark or light color is, ranging from Balck to white.

How do we put this all together to create professional -looking color schemes?

There are tried and true formulas based on something called color harmony that can help. All you need is the color wheel. The easiest formula for harmony is monochromatic because it only uses one color or hue. Just pick a spot on the color wheel and use your knowledge of saturation and value to create variations. The best thing about monochromatic color schemes is that they’re guaranteed to match.

How does the analogous and complementary formula help?

The analogous color scheme uses colors that are next to each other on the wheel, like Reds and oranges…or cooler colors, like blues and greens. And don’t be afraid to play with the palette and create your own unique interpretation. Complementary colors are opposite each other on the wheel; for instance, blue and orange…..or the classic red and green.

What are these following formular on the color wheel for, Split complementary, Triadic color, and Tetradic formular?

Split complementary color scheme uses the colors on either side of the complementary. Triadic color scheme uses three colors that are evenly space, forming a perfect a perfect triangle on the wheel. And lastly, A tetradic color schemes from a rectangle on the wheel, using not one but two complementary color pairs.
