Evaluating model of conditions for forming volumetric visual perception of flat images

In this paper we consider an algorithm of conditions under which the volumetric perception of flat images is formed. A training technique was developed, which was patented by Kazan University. The approbation of the studies in the format of an educational project shows that up to 90% of students and schoolchildren (a sample of more than 600 people) have the ability to relief perception of some 2D images. We believe that the relief perception of flat images, especially by color of the images, refers to the initial stages of development of cognitive and image-structured visual perception. Therefore, it can be assumed that the visual system of modern youth has already acquired primary skills to perceive the depth of various color distributions on flat images. In the research we attempted to construct an evaluation model of the primary conditions for cognitive and image-structured visual perception. The model is based on the consideration of the physiological structure of an eye. It is assumed that the perception of stereoscopic depth in the training stereoscopic projections, with the implementation of superposition mode, is then transformed into a volumetric perception of any flat images. In this case, there is a combined perception taking into account the experience of the construction of depth on the spatial objects of the environment. Therefore, we use phenomena (perhaps diffractions), which are observed in the surrounding environment. Comparison of the diffraction pattern of numerical calculations with the observed distribution for the cognitive visual system allows to assume the influence of diffraction phenomena in the screen layer of the retinal neurons on the formation of the volumetric perception of flat images. The second condition that confirms the possibility of the effect of the diffraction phenomena on the screen layer of neurons located in front of the photoreceptors is the dependence of the creative depth of flat images on their color (or the wavelength of the light flux) observed for cognitive and image-structured visual perception. The presented material shows that, at first sight, one of the reasons for the formation of volumetric perception of flat images could be diffraction phenomena on the screen layer of neurons located in front of the retina photoreceptors. Consequently, there are physiological conditions described by the known physical laws. However, they can not ensure the construction of all possible phenomena of depth observed by cognitive and image-structured visual perception. In other words, to form a full-scale volumetric perception of flat images and distant objects, it is necessary to consider a "cognitive (or mental) connection" of the previously obtained experiences of observing the stereoscopic depth of training stereoscopic projections and depth in the location of environmental objects. Perhaps, obtaining a volumetric sensation from flat images (as a visual stimulus) is the result of the integrated, ascending and descending fluxes of electrical impulses in neural networks of the brain.
