we never really learnt about split-brain patients and having impaired memory either
hence, why they should be taken off

I know right. This isn't even mentioned in any text books (well none so far).

wtf what was the MC on the cones and rods in the cinemas, i dont remember that

[Slumdawg]

was it just me or was the ames room and the film director thing weird. Does a camera at a peephole eliminated binocular cues..
Was the detail of the which and the whole storyline necessary I mean come on that was just a waste of ink. you could tell the exam writers were bored and thought that would be funny to put that in.

im pretty sure the location of the camera did not eliminate binocular depth cues. this is bcoz we view the camera film with both eyes-so binocular...i wrote that the camera location at the peephole ensured that our visual angle was the same for both corners, so we perceived the room as a rectangle.

frankly I agree that examinors were secretly taking the piss
they must aim to purpose torture us students
last time I checked wewere being tested on OUR KNOWLEDGE of the content
not how well we can read between the lines and propose hypotheses for differnt explanations of the content in various contexts
*sighs* fml

But when you're watching a tv, there's no difference in your perception of what is on the screen whether you use both eyes or one eye. What you see on a tv is pretty much a series of images/frames which would be the same as a bunch of pictures that use pictorial depth cues to convey depth.

yeah i wasn't sure, would the Ames room even work through a lens?

Yeah it would because it can only be monocularly viewed - you wouldn't even need a peephole! Only the correct positioning.

It's like those pictures of the people "pushing" the leaning tower of pisa over...
