Do we all see red as the same colour? We finally have an answer

It is impossible for us to know exactly how another person's experience of the world compares to our own, but a new experiment is helping to reveal that colour is indeed a shared phenomenon

"Are You For Real?" teableau for 02/25/25

One of the trickiest things to make people understand about perception (at least the way I do it), is that colors are all in the mind.

I've thought of a new way to do it, sorta.

Let's imagine a wonderbeast.
It has eyes that detect every single wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, from some gamma ray nonsense to actual meter-long radio waves.
And it perceives these wavelengths as distinct grayscales.

Does it see any colors?
It sees the wavelength that we would call "yellow", and would be able to agree with us that it is "yellow" if it has been trained in English... but it's "yellow" is a grayscale in a set that is near-infinitely larger than our set of colors.

Hopefully this makes clear the idea that wavelengths are not colors. Wavelenghts are just wavelengths. We either detect them or we do not.
If we do detect them, and iff our brains "colorize" them to make them stand out, only then do we perceive color.

Because "color" refers not to any wavelengths, but to the visceral visual experience.
Something unique to the perception system, that certain sorts of nerve impulses (not light) get interpreted as completely non-real color experiences.

idk, does that work?

Hello #psycholinguists on Mastodon! I'm currently doing a review on idiosyncrasies in phoneme perception, where it comes from, how it develops through childhood, how we can study it... If you have references or any idea on the topic, I'm more than interested! @psycholinguistics #psycholinguistics #phoneme #perception

We are watching the first season of Perception (with Eric McCormack, who plays Daniel Pierce, a neuropsychiatrist with schizophrenia who assists the FBI on some of its most complex cases.) while the potatoes in the oven develop their crispy jackets.

I have it on my hard drive, I can not confirm how it got there

Stinking #Philosophy!: Smell #Perception, #Cognition, and #Consciousness

https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5811/Stinking-Philosophy-Smell-Perception-Cognition-and

The book examines the long-neglected philosophical questions about the nature of smell, exploring how we perceive, process, and communicate about odors while advancing debates in philosophy of mind, perception, and cognitive science.

#OpticalIllusion #Perception.

“Time flies.” Except when it doesn't.

Airport waiting areas always have this effect on me: They feel void of time. Everything is designed to stay constant.

But when I'm on a bus, the bus progresses, not me. Or do I?
Does it feel less like waiting if I get somewhere and not just “somewhen”?
