Stuck Like A Stick In The Mud

Well, yea I'm a lame, a looser, what ever you want to say for that phrase used as my title. However, it's true. I'm not really sure where to go. I know what I want to do but I'm not really sure at the same time. I know I want to do a study, but I don't believe that is all I want to do. That seems too little for me even though there is a big part of it. Like... I don't know...

It's hard to explain I guess what I want to do for the fact that I myself don't know what I want to do. I want to figure out why... why can't people see them (in lack of better word choice at the moment) but there isn't any scientific reasoning behind it. This isn't an eye sight problem such as catalysts where you can just remove them. No, there is no information that I can find that supports or denies problems when seeing autostereograms.

I could possibly try to find something becuase there is something on Photoshop that you can order but I don't know... Maybe I could generate my own autostereogram and show to others... Who knows...

Breaktrhough I think

Essential Questions

Why is it that autostereograms are only visible to a few?

Foundation Questions

1. Does gender play a role in visibility?
2. Is there a way to train someone to see autostereograms if not able to before?
3. What are the purposes of autostereograms?
4. Are there specific viewing techniques when attempting to see autostereograms?
5. Could not being able to view an autostereogram have to do with your opcipital lobe?


So yea that's about it for now. Any feedback?

Rawr, Rawr, and More Rawr

Yesterday I went to the library to pick up some books that I ordered and NONE of them helped one bit. I had my hopes pretty high up on those books and I guess some hwow I either ordered wrong or wasn't paying attention. So right now, I'm back to finding sources which wasn't that much.

I actually like that there isn't much on the project, it gives me an edge to say "No, it's not wrong it's new" kind of thing. On the other hand, it is hard to come up with foundation questions and evidence to suppot my findings if there is nothing on the topic.

I am still sticking with the idea of "Autostereograms" and the question of "Why can some people see while others can't?" because they seem to be where I am going with them.

To figure it out conduct a study I believe by printing out autostereograms and seeing what diffrences the people have in personality, lifestyle maybe... Is it a dietary thing? That would be intersting too... A lot of possiblities I can go into with this I just need to find first off more infomation I believe...

I'm having troubles finding sources that are giving me the information I particularly want. A couple of the books I did want are now up for pick up but the library closes so early I probably wont be able to get there until Thursday at earliest. I know I"m not supposed to be complaining in these blogs but give me the credit that it is in proper English and everything is spelled correctly. I mean, I did find a couple of books, however I am hold 1 of like 20 or so, it might take a while to get there. I expected so but didn't truly want to wait that long for something.

Oh and Kristen.. Go to the Carnegie Library's home page and type in Color Stimuli as the subject, you'll find some cool things. All Stimuli means is the stimulation of one thing to cause a reaction to the other. Like, if I burn you you'll say ow. It's a stimulus (single).

Casey, I found a site for you and I don't know if you have been on it or not just try to look at it and see what you can get from it. I mean, there are diffrent things on the side that you can go to and I thought it looked cool anyway. If you click on the side it gives you bunch of books that you can find and just I don't know I hope that helps?

Questions

So as I'm sitting here frustrated because the stupid, stupid, stupid blog spot thing isn't working.. and it took a while for Mr. Christ to finally get it to work.. Anyhow.. I came up with some questions on autostereograms and what not so yea what does everyone think??

♥ Why can't everyone view autostereograms?
♥ What are some viewing techniques to see autostereograms?
♥ Is there a time limit on when to see an autostereogram?
♥ Is not being able to see a autostereogram a nerology problem?
♥ Is it important to be able to view an autosteregram?
♥ How many people know about autostereograms?

As you can see, I was bored.

PRETTY!!

Or at least I think so... I really like my photoshoped image and I think it looks nice. Also, I am now doing more research on the actual autostereogram as Alex reads off to me burial rituals... Ha ha. Anyway, I gave up reading the PDF file becuase it just wasn't worth it. Like, it took me until pg 263 until I got to refrences which was what I really needed. lol.
