day sixteen-->learning about eyes

Today, instead of having a regular meeting, we had a 15 minute tour of the Visual Perception lab. Which was my first choice, following document restoration, in the interviewing process. During the tour I learned many new and interesting things. For example, did you know that there are 3 muscles on your eyes? There are some muscles to move your eyes in two plains, horizontally and vertically. As well as a rotational stabilizing muscle. The action of this muscle maintains a stable field of view reguardless of the head's position. Also I learned that colors, when put side by side, seem to change as the surrounding colors change.
In the cube room we focused on perfecting the evolution of our three selected animals. Which included doing research on color blindness, and how the colors in our presentation would appear to those who are color blind.
We had some visitors as well, my brother and a group of incoming freshman, and our anticipated visitor that we were informed of last week. He came in and made a video of the cube while Nick gave an in-depth explaination of how the cube works and some of its benefits. That video should be on youtube in the couple weeks at the most, so be on the look out.
