Visual Instincts
Visuals can be really useful for communicating all sorts of things. To take full advantage of a visual medium, you’ll need to have visual instincts. This video describes what visual instincts are, why they are useful, and how you can develop them for yourself. It was prepared with consultation from Stanford Design Program Lecturer and Swayspace partner Patrick Fenton to explain, illustrate, and broadcast the principles behind Stanford’s visual instincts courses.
The mission of the visual instincts series at Stanford University is to help students develop visual skills that will enable them to communicate more effectively in an increasingly visual world. The series is comprised of 2 courses, Visual Frontiers and Visual Expressions. In Visual Frontiers, students learn how to use graphic design to communicate online, in person, and through printed matter. Visual Expressions is a hands-on exploration of the elements and principles of 2D and 3D design common to all the visual arts.

Pendulum Wave Music
Переглядів 39 тис.7 років тому
A pendulum wave (example: ua-cam.com/video/yVkdfJ9PkRQ/v-deo.html) occurs in a series of pendulums with carefully chosen lengths such that, in a particular period of time, each pendulum swings back and forth one more time than the one next to it. This video is an abstraction of that phenomenon, with dots moving back and forth instead of pendulums, but the principle is the same - in 2 minutes an...
The Science of Color Perception

    finally, the answer to dispel my nagging hypothesis regarding what i deemed a misnomer in referring to the "visible" spectrum based on the, apparently incorrect information, that our color perception is activated by only red, green, or blue wavelengths.

    When explaining how the brain perceives color, it does not make sense to refer to "red light" or "yellow light" since color is not a property of light, and you're including the thing you're trying to explain, color, in the explanation of color.

    I keep seeing a pattern where a pendulum style system starts with everything moving together, then gradually separate. There is a point where two distinct groups are now moving together. This is always the halfway point to the system reaching full synchronization again. And at a quarter and three quarters of the way through the cycle, four groups are moving together.

    • @adamschaak9527

      It's similar to the concept and use of polyrhythms in music. If you don't know much or anything about it, the rock band Tool was what/who helped me break-through to an understanding about the existence of these types of patterns. Meshuggah is heavier metal, but go way more in depth on these concepts where Tool is easier to digest if complicated screaming metal isn't exactly what you're interested in listening to. The band The Contortionist has a song where they do a reverse polyrhythm, starting at that halfway point where it's as separate as possible, phasing together into synchronicity and then back out to separation. They do it just one time in the one song, but it's little moments like that which really show me why I love progressive rock and metal 🖤

    Thank you for your wonderful video. I've seen a funny video about that saying, "purple doesn't exist", which was very scientific but still didn't reach your level of clarity. I'm more certain now that the world around us is an illusion created by our brain. The fact that said illusion is widely shared (to the point that I'm sure most humans will agree that the laptop I'm typing on is black with white letters painted on the keys, and that grass is green and girls are pretty) sounds reassuring, but somehow more misleading.

      They’re most sensitive to yellow. However, they are the only cones that are (significantly) sensitive to red, so they are mainly what gets activated when you see red.

    I really haven’t get why you said Y G B make white instead of RGB cause I'm not a native English speaker. So can you explain that in simple English please? Note: I've commented this after reading your pinned comment

    • @CalderRuhlHansen
      @CalderRuhlHansen 3 роки тому

      Sure, I will do my best! There are many ways to make white. Both RGB and YGB make white. RGB makes all three types of cones react a lot, so we see white. YGB also makes all three types of cones react a lot, so we see white. Why do both RGB and YGB make all three types of cones react a lot? Here is why: - The “S” cone reacts to Blue light. When there is RGB or YGB, there is Blue light, and the “S” cone reacts to that. - The “M” cone reacts to Green light. When there is RGB or YGB, there is Green light, and the “M” cone reacts to that. - The “L” cone reacts to Red light and _also_ to Yellow light. When there is RGB, there is Red light, and the “L” cone reacts to that. When there is YGB, there is Yellow light, and the “L” cone reacts to that. So, there can be either Red or Yellow, and the “L” cone will react. So, both RGB and YGB make all three types of cones (L, M, and S) react. The most important idea is this: each cone reacts to many different types of light. So, there are many different ways to make a cone react. And so, there are many different types of light that make us see the same color. Did that make sense?

And are we able to see color in photos and movies for the same reason we can hear recorded audio? which is a frequency within itself
