Pupil of the Eye.net • Pupil of the Eye ... United in Spirit ... In Service to All • “Bahá'u'lláh once compared the coloured people to the black pupil of the eye surrounded by the white. In this black pupil you see the reflection of that which is before it, and through it the light of the Spirit shines forth. In the sight of God colour makes no difference at all, He looks at the hearts of men. That which God desires from men is the heart...”

What can interfere with the light reflex?(other than brightness, visual field, hue) • Fear (Szabadi, Bitsios, 1996) • Apprehension (Loewenfeld, 1958; 1993) • Motor response (Loewenfeld, 1993; Gavriysky, 1991) • Cognition (Steinhauer, 2000)
Motor Response cued by tone inhibits Light Reaction even after onset of light stimulus Light Duration = 1000 msec, Tone Duration = 40 msec
