The need for more advanced sensory organs- the concept of the advanced eye |
|
| While the detection of grey frequencies enables an organism a superior addition, there is also the advantage of detecting different colour effects of movement- a higher cognitive function. That is, the detection of not only the reaction in terms of shadow, but the nature of the object being viewed in terms of radiation and electrical condition. | ||
| When environmental conditions are at the extreme, such sensory methods can become obsolete- in the extreme pressure, het and wet of dinosaur Earth, single method photo receptor vision would be limited to close range, and perform only when kept dry. However, heton receptive sight (infra-red), color vision and photo-electric vision enables a more all weather solution. | ||
| Such a solution, coupled with the development of focus sensing, provides a solution to the blinding of extreme conditions. | ||
| The photo-electric sensor, capable of detecting both movement (spectrum shift) as well as radiation opens up the possibility of much greater recognition of objects for what they are, without the risk of having to try and test before the environment is safe. | ||
| Such specialized sensors can provide detection based on both shape, movement as well as the actual object nature ( colour). However, a much greater demand on cognitive processing is required. | ||
| This is the vertebrate eye. | ||
| 14.7.1 | The power of the neuron to accomplish both vector and chemical processing and memory | |
| As we described in 13.33, the neuron has the amazing ability to store and process both vector (logarithmic) and chemical (dna, immune, hormones) storage. In considering the process of visual recognition, the neuron network need to establish a VECTOR sensing- CHEMICAL processing and then VECTOR storage feat. Depending on the range and ability of the system of sight, the cognitive requirements in number of neurons can be quite large. | ||
| 14.7.2 | The vertebrate eye | |
| The vertebrate eye is a complex arrangement of specialized neurons and tissues enabling the calculation of vector based information, chemically interpreted and then vectorally stored through controlled electrical stimulus. | ||
 |
||
| 14.7.3 | The creation of a second eye system | |
| An amazing understanding lost to most biological books is the understanding that vertebrates did not dispense with the original eye system. This misunderstanding is principally due to the lack of recognition of the brain and neural system as not just one complete system but the combination of three evolutionary systems of cognitive function- the COGNO, NEURO AND ORGO systems. | ||
