Can You See Me? Mrs. Salma Subhi

The Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology organized a lecture titled "Can You See Me?" by Mrs Salma Subhi from the Meteorite Center. The very entertaining talk was about how we see things depending on our perceptions and background.

Mrs. Salma gave several examples of how we interpret the colors of an image and the details one can see that the other person cannot.

As a topic, "Can You See Me" explores the fascinating interplay between an individual's profile and the vast spectrum of visual perception. Our eyes, the windows to our world, can capture and interpret the myriad of stimuli that surrounds us. Yet, the unique qualities of each person's profile significantly influence what we can truly see. The physiological variances of the eye, such as color perception and understanding, shape our visual experience, with some individuals perceiving a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues while others observe a more subdued palette. Furthermore, the depth of our experiences, cultural backgrounds, and personal biases further mold how we view the world. As our profiles become intricate tapestries woven with genetic, cultural, and experiential threads, the question lingers: Can you see me? The answer lies not only in the mechanics of vision but also in the nuanced interplay between our unique profiles and the diverse tapestry of the world that surrounds us.
