Important issues evolving from neuroscientific research, specifying the identity of human beings, are explained as resulting from the development and stepwise changes of highly dynamic neuronal networks. These conclusions appear to fit the (meta)physical concepts developed by Whitehead, who claims that the elucidation of immediate experience, proceeding from objectivity to subjectivity, is the sole justification of our thought. Both lines of thought assume that our bodily experience, emerging from the perception of various bodily organs, is the basis of our existence.展开更多

Because mistakes in refraction measurements correspond to fluctuations in eye's focus, it is possible to calculate theoretical limits for the best accuracy in measurements of eye's refraction (0.25-0.3 D). Optical model for astigmatic human eye predicts possibility only 70% compensation of visual acuity by cylindrical glasses. New data and methods for digital measuring of color and gray vision were tested, too. Also ,some new results and model for periphery color and grey vision were proposed and discussed.展开更多
