Women see the world completely different from men

According to a new study of vision, men and women actually see things in completely different ways. Men's eyes are more sensitive to small details and moving objects, while women are more responsive in sensing color changes.

The Live Science page quoted Israeli researcher Abramov from New York City University (CUNY) as saying: 'As with other senses, such as hearing and smell, we detect differences. clear vision between men and women '.

Previous studies have shown that women possess more sensitive ears and nose than the opposite sex.

Mr. Abramov and his colleagues from CUNY compared the eyesight of volunteers, both male and female over 16 years old, able to observe normal colors and achieve vision 20/20 (including the case use frames with glasses or contact lenses).

When asking volunteers to describe the different colors they see, the team found: men need a slightly longer wavelength of a color to feel the same nuances as women and Men appear to be inferior in color discrimination.

However, when presented with images made up of different light and dark streaks in color and alternating colors, the male subjects were superior to their ability to identify. the opposite sex.

Mr. Abramov explained that the above factors of vision are related to certain hippocampal neuron structures in the area of ​​primary visual cortex. The development of these neurons is under the control of male sex hormones called androgen when the embryo develops into a fetus.

The new study has strengthened the notion that the two halves of the world have different 'eyes'. Some previous studies have also found that men and women focus on looking very differently. In experiments at the University of Southern California, researchers found that men seemed to focus on the mouth of the interlocutor and were more likely to be distracted by the movements behind the person. In contrast, women tend to shift their gaze towards the eyes or body of the dialogue person and are more likely to be distracted by others.
