A quiet, calming environment will help promote rest. This can be done by using the soundproof wall material and the choices of colour used for the room.

Models Exploration Colour vision

How people see?

Colour is fundamental to our experience of the world around us. But how is it, precisely, that we see these things? When light enters our eyes, it passes through the lenses and hits the retinas. It is cones that are most responsive to colour.

The very first model is to explore the different cues to adjust our perception, like applying a filter over a stage light. Vision itself is not objective, and this realisation can help us begin to see ourselves and our world in a different light. The world would appear different to us if there is changes on our perceptive apparatus. This experiment allows a better understanding on how we see colour can make us reconsider how we constitute the world. Also, understanding on how perception is also a kind a world-making. It makes you see the world in an altered way and makes you appreciate colour as when try to find other colours.
