Enzymind brain dump

I have worried about how to back up all the material I've put on Enzymind (this site). It is slow and unwieldy to copy each page and the associated material. For some of my project pages I have made mirror pages on another server, but these are never in sync or contain all the text, particularly notes, that I use Enymind for regularly.

Construction notes and details

Construction notes and details for Stereo pair smooth depth reversal animations

Vision and perception experiments

Stereo pair smooth depth reversal

 

Stereo pair smooth depth reversal

What is the perception of a stereo pair if the disparities of a semi-natural image are smoothly changed, such that the stereoscopic depth of every feature is reversed, with far things becoming near and near things far?

Tarsier-human vision hardware

A primatologist (SUNY?, I lost his name and address) sent an interesting photo of a dissected tarsier brain and eye. He was looking for a comparable image of human vision hardware. I am working on animations of various brain systems, so I put together of rendering of roughly the same parts:

Vision dynamics and hallucinated patterns

Vision dynamics and hallucinated patterns

A set of links related to commonly percieved patterns that are different from visual stimulus patterns, and how they might be related to cortical implementation of human vision.

Discrete math background

    "...we try to make predictions about Nature, to anticipate what we’ll see in places we have not yet looked. If additional observations corroborate our expectations, then we’re on the right track. Several skill sets are involved: one must know how to idealize the world, and then how to work with that idealization.
