When you enter a dark theater on a bright day, it takes an appreciable interval of time before you can see well enough to find a

n empty seat. Which of the computational processes of the human visual system explained in the Gonzales and Woods text book are at play in this situation and how?

As we do not have the text book, we cannot link the answer to that information. However, we can still try to explain what the process is like for the eyes to adjust to the dark.

The phenomenon described in this example is known as "dark adaptation." This usually takes about 20-30 seconds, depending on the intensity of the light in the previous surroundings (in this case, it was a bright day). The reason why we are able to see in a wide variety of environments is because of the photoreceptors found in our retina. These are light-sensitive cells, and are divided into cones and rods. The interaction of cones (day vision) and rods (night vision) is what results in "dark adaptation."

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

During the period of slowdown in the US economy, the government announced a program of tax rebates. This program classifies as a discretionary policy as it is planned by the government.

Tax rebates will lead to an increase in the disposable income of the consumer. This will cause the demand for goods to increase and further lead to an increase in consumer spending.

This is an example of an expansionary policy.

What's the part of the brain that makes us human?
olasank [31]
The brain area pinpointed is known to be intimately involved in some of the most advanced planning and decision-making processes that we think of as being especially human.

'We tend to think that being able to plan into the future, be flexible in our approach and learn from others are things that are particularly impressive about humans. We've identified an area of the brain that appears to be uniquely human and is likely to have something to do with these cognitive powers,' says senior researcher Professor Matthew Rushworth of Oxford University's Department of Experimental Psychology.

MRI imaging of 25 adult volunteers was used to identify key components in the ventrolateral frontal cortex area of the human brain, and how these components were connected up with other brain areas. The results were then compared to equivalent MRI data from 25 macaque monkeys.

This ventrolateral frontal cortex area of the brain is involved in many of the highest aspects of cognition and language, and is only present in humans and other primates. Some parts are implicated in psychiatric conditions like ADHD, drug addiction or compulsive behaviour disorders. Language is affected when other parts are damaged after stroke or neurodegenerative disease. A better understanding of the neural connections and networks involved should help the understanding of changes in the brain that go along with these conditions.

The Oxford University researchers report their findings in the science journal Neuron.

Professor Rushworth explains: 'The brain is a mosaic of interlinked areas. We wanted to look at this very important region of the frontal part of the brain and see how many tiles there are and where they are placed.

'We also looked at the connections of each tile -- how they are wired up to the rest of the brain -- as it is these connections that determine the information that can reach that component part and the influence that part can have on other brain regions.'

From the MRI data, the researchers were able to divide the human ventrolateral frontal cortex into 12 areas that were consistent across all the individuals.
