Piloting a sunmersible with LYYN T38™, by the Institute of Oceanology, Bulgaria

Black Sea exploraion is of special interest to the scientific community, the Institute of Oceanology believes. Evidence suggests that the region was a center of maritime trade for millennia, stretching from Roman and Greek times as far back as the Bronze Age. The Black Sea is also the only sea with a deep-water anoxic layer, oxygen-deprived waters where wood-boring mollusks cannot survive. Because of this, wooden shipwrecks of antiquity can remain in a high state of preservation for thousands of years.

The Institute of Oceanology's research submersible PC–8 has been operated since 1987.

The submersible has been used in many operaions; one of the most publicly known is the series of expeditions to the Black Sea initiated by National Geographic Society explorer-in-residence and Institute for Exploration president Robert Ballard, the oceanographer and undersea explorer famous for his discovery of the Titanic and other historic shipwrecks.

Brains vision filters determine what we pay attention to

With 70% of the brain's neurons somehow serving the visual system, one cannot help but appreciate the enormous influence of vision on our perception of the world. But, despite the wonders of the human eye, 80% of our sight results from interpretation based on experience.

During the critical learning period of zero to 28 months and thereafter until age 25 when the brain structurally matures, visual memories are encoded into hardwired brain maps. These filters create shortcuts and assumptions which make up a majority of what we "see."

There are gaps in our perception that must be filled in if we are to establish meaning of what our visual senses detect. While we may pick up patterns, our brain maps fill in the missing information with incomplete information. This gives illusionists the opportunity to trick our brains into making the wrong conclusions.

And there are more things influencing your vision and perception of the world around you. Your eyes "see" everything around you; all they do is receive light waves in a certain frequency range. Very much as a camera sensor. Then your brain determines what is significant enough to reach your level of conscious awareness.

For instance, as you read this sentence, your mind homes in on each word and blots out the rest of the page. This roving spot of attention tames the flood of visual information that hundreds of thousand of nerves attached to the back of your eye's retina stream into the brain.

So, what do you really see?

Take a look at this video and judge for your self!
