Everyone has his own unique world, each individual has a distinct perception, not only the way each one looks at the things but also the colors in which we see. The most fascinating thing I realized was that each individual has his own paint brush and color palette using which he paints the world around him. The only misfortune is that he cannot color on his own will. The other way to put things is that there are no colors at all; there are only wavelengths that we sense and process to form colors. Having analyzed this fact, I was keener to find out the reason behind this cause. We say that almost everything is coded into our genome, so there should be something peculiar which should be tapped in order to find the correct reason behind such a cause. So I tried to find out the color sensing organ or pigment inside a human eye. The color sensing entity in a human eye is cones cells, which actually senses the wavelengths and then preprocessing results in the creation of colors. In fact, ...

Different organisms perceives & process things differently; bats use ultrasound to navigate through their way, frog uses different contours, and so we human also have developed a visual system. The output of the signals sent by retina is transformed and processed by a Human Brain which is the most complex system ever studied. Since, the time antediluvian, brain has been the centre of interest. It is the system that every civilization tried to study, whether it be Indians or Europeans, all have put up their best efforts to study the brain in their own styles which resulted to form different interpretations. Brain processes data to information to form a perception; the factors affecting the latter are Beliefs (or rather environmental factors) and stimulus which is the agent. The agent is the sensory organ which transmits the data to the brain. Now, this could be any sense organ like nose, tongue, touch, visual system etc. Among these, the most fascinating is visual system, not becaus...
