| | Watch Out, Diabetes Can Cause Blurred Vision or Even Blindness | | 2008-05-21 00:33:02 | | by Aron WalladHere we are in the age of speed. We want everything fast. Our food (and that could be another problem), our work and searching on the internet. Now where am I going with an article about blurred vision? With diabetes reaching epidemic proportions, more and more people like you and me are losing part or all of our sight. How will you be able to live in a faster world when eyesight is so important if your vision keeps decreasing? Diabetes is the number one culprit for vision loss and blurred vision in the United States. The American Academy of Ophthalmology claims that if you are a diabetic you have a 25 times more chance of losing your site or getting at least blurred vision than someone without the disease. I repeat a 25 times more chance of losing your sight with diabetes. This is scary. Initially blurred vision may come and go as your blood sugar levels improve or get worse. But over time higher blood sugar levels start to damage the blood vessels in the back of the eye | | By: Danta's Articles | | |

| I'm Suggesting Blindness | | 2008-05-12 15:42:18 | | Unbelievable. Clown Shoes. Ridiculous. This has nothing to do with the Avalanche (unless rumors about Torts maybe looking for a new job count), but this has to be deseminated throughout the intra-webs as much as possible. | | By: Mile High Hockey | | |
| | "Blindness" ciudadanos de ojos inservibles. | | 2008-05-05 19:19:00 | | "Blindness" (Ceguera) es el nuevo y deseado trabajo del cineasta brasileño Fernando Meirelles, director de "Ciudad de Dios" y el "Jardinero Fiel". Este nuevo film abrirá la 61 edición del Festival de cine de Cannes que tendrá lugar del 14 hasta el 25 mayo en Francia.Es la adaptación cinematográfica de la novela "Ensayo sobre la ceguera" del Premio Nobel portugués José Saramago, que narra la historia de una ciudad llevada a la crisis por una gran epidemia de ceguera que se esta extendiendo, en todo ser humano, menos en una mujer...Otro de los grandes atractivos de la película es su reparto estupendamente escogido, Julianne Moore ("Misteriosa obsesión") y Mark Ruffalo ("Un cruce en el destino") se unen como protagonistas en un reparto en el cual también destacan nombres como: Sandra Oh ("Voces en la noche"), el mexicano Gael García Bernal ("Babel") o Danny Glover ("Arma Letal").Imagenes:Articulo de Lago de Barro.

| Change blindness again | | 2008-04-18 13:29:19 | | I’m always interested in the concept of change blindness:
the phenomenon where a person viewing a visual scene apparently fails to detect large changes in the scene. For change blindness to occur, the change in the scene typically has to coincide with some visual, disruption such as a saccade (eye movement) or a brief obscuration of [...] | | By: learn about lean & six-sigma | | |
| | Change blindness | | 2008-03-28 00:55:31 | | Watch this video …..
This phenomenon is known as “change blindness” - only a tiny fraction of all the information going into your brain enters your consciousness. People often fail to see a change in their surroundings because their attention is elsewhere.
Even stranger, if you are concentrating on something, you can become blind to other events [...] | | By: learn about lean & six-sigma | | |
| | 2 students develop early blindness detecting software | | 2008-03-11 16:06:39 | | 2 polytechnic students have successfully developed a software that helps doctors detect blindness early. The pair from Ngee Ann Polytechnic were among six winning teams which walked away with $500 each at the Polytechnic Student Research Programme on Tuesday.
Miss Melissa Tan and teammate Gracielynne Flores, both 20, based their research on 200 retinal scans from [...] | | By: Singapore News | | |

A group of internet users had to visit American Census Biro website and find information about US population at that moment. Like you can see on this image, on index of Census.gov website, in top-right corner, with big red letters, there’s answer: Population, US, 302,740,627.

Blind is the disabili... | | 2007-03-08 10:12:22 | | Blindness(from what I read)Blind is the disability to see lights, colors, and objects. Blindness can be catogorised into congenital and post-congenital. In the case of congenital blindness, only small number of infants patient can be cured through operation. Adult congenital patient cannot be cured totally through cornia transfer. It is because they have not seen colors since birth and have problems in intrepting visual. Most of them gone blind again after operation. They can see visual through their eyes but they cannot interpret the visual that they receive thus ignored it. They return to the old method by the sense of touch. While the post-congenital blindness can be cured through cornea transfer and has no problem seeing things. Now post-congenital patients will probably need no cornea transfer as a scientific breakthough has been made. It is the bionic eyes which comprises of a digital camera, computer, and cables/wires. The digital camera works by receiving visual and convert | | By: Gadget and technology | | |
| | Color blindness and contrast perception in cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) determined by a visual sensorimotor assay | | 2006-08-15 15:52:16 | | Full paper at above linkAbstract:We tested color perception based upon a robust behavioral response in which cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) respond to visual stimuli (a black and white checkerboard) with a quantifiable, neurally controlled motor response (a body pattern).In the first experiment, we created 16 checkerboard substrates in which 16 grey shades (from white to black) were paired with one green shade (matched to the maximum absorption wavelength of S. officinalis' sole visual pigment, 492 nm), assuming that one of the grey shades would give a similar achromatic signal to the tested green.In the second experiment, we created a checkerboard using one blue and one yellow shade whose intensities were matched to the cuttlefish's visual system.In both assays it was tested whether cuttlefish would show disruptive coloration on these checkerboards, indicating their ability to distinguish checkers based solely on wavelength (i.e., color).Here, we show clearly that cuttlefish must be color blind, as they showed non-disruptive coloration on the checkerboards whose color intensities were matched to the Sepia visual system, suggesting that the substrates appeared to their eyes as uniform backgrounds.Furthermore, we show that cuttlefish are able to perceive objects in their background that differ in contrast by approximately 15%. This study adds support to previous reports that S. officinalis is color blind, yet the question of how cuttlefish achieve "color-blind camouflage" in chromatically rich environments still remains.
