The Human Holographic Visual System

By Robert Reyes

View author's profile page

Overview


This book uses a new theoretical framework based on holographic processes and principles to provide interpretations, perspectives, and discussions about how the different sub-systems and components of the human visual system actually function. 

The visual system uses light waves to communicate with the brain, not electrical nerve impulses. Light waves capture all visual imagery and information about the immediate surrounding outside environment. In turn, the eyes capture and manipulate the light waves by converting them into interference patterns at the speed of light and at the nanoscale.

The interference patterns bring in all visual imagery and information about the outside environment inside the visual system. The primary visual cortex converts the interference patterns into three dimensional active holographic imagery of the immediate surrounding outside environments.

This holographic imagery, when combined with the subjective component of perception creates a model of reality (of the outside environment) inside the brain that is:

       * interactive in real-time,

       * with 3-D holographic images in true color, and

       * visual imagery with associated actions/motion.

For vision science, this book provides answers to:

       * the correspondence problem,

       * the inverse optics problem, and

       * to many more problems.

Description


The book begins with a discussion on light waves which act as messengers bring in visual information about the scenery and objects of the immediate surrounding outside environment. The interactions of visible light with objects in the outside environment produce characteristics of visible light waves that are specific to the scenery and objects. The eyes capture the visible light waves with the characteristics of light waves that are specific to the scenery and objects of the immediate surrounding outside environment. The eyes convert outside visible light waves into spatially coherent light waves which the retinas break down into component wavelengths: fully coherent red, fully coherent green, fully coherent blue, and fully coherent neutral color. With the light waves fully coherent, photoreceptors capture the fully coherent light waves of individual colors and collectively transmit them as snapshots of interference patterns to the lateral geniculate nuclei. With coordination an synchronization of varied elements, the lateral geniculate nuclei manipulate the incoming flow of snapshots of interference patterns to produce moiré fringe projection images within the interference patterns. The moiré fringe projection images within the incoming flow of snapshots of interference patterns translate into three-dimensional holographic imagery that is active and dynamic and capable of representing any and all three-dimensional actions and movements that occur in any immediate surrounding outside environments. At this point, the incoming flow of snapshots of interference patterns, still in the monochromatic stage, are transmitted to the primary visual cortex. The primary visual cortex coordinates and synchronizes all the incoming flow of snapshots of the monochromatic interference patterns and combines them in the layers of the honeycomb-shaped matrix of cortical columns. The primary visual cortex combines in the layers of cortical columns all the incoming flow of snapshots of the interference patterns produced by both object the light source and the reference light source. The process reconstructs the original visual imagery captured from the immediate surrounding outside environment and produces the stereoscopic moving holographic images, forms, shapes, objects, and scene in vivid true color and in real-time that we are accustomed to every day.

About The Author


Robert has a strong interest and passion in knowing about human perception and has been studying and researching about human perception for over forty (40) years.  He has authored this book on the human visual system titled The Human Holographic Visual System, released June 2025.  The book deals with how the visual system captures light waves to gather raw visual information about the immediate surrounding outside environment.  Robert is currently working on his second and third book projects.  His second book is a continuation of the visual system and how the subjective component of perception manipulates the incoming raw visual information to produce a mental model of reality.  The title of the second book is The Human Lens of Perception and may be ready in a year or two.  The third book is a work in progress that needs more work with more information about it later. 

      Another strong interest for Robert is the study of systems and systems thinking which helped when writing about the visual system and perception.  Systems and systems thinking helped Robert become a nontraditional independent researcher with an unconventional approach.
