 note = {The functions of the far-sense and the near-sense were analysed in terms of the linkage with intelligent and emotional processes. The differences of these two kinds of senses were found in the system of the brain, the psychometric function (the Stevens’law) and some adaptational aspects. The rolls and the significances of those senses which were expected to play in the process of evolution were also compared.　The followings were concluded:　a. The far-sense enables us adapt to the outer world in which the surroundings might change abruptly by allowing us explore and hence gather more information.　b. The near-sense, on the other hand, is a kind of the alarm system showing the limit of the stimulus intensity above which we may be injured or dead.　c. This suggests the strong linkage between the near-sense and the life.　d. The act of seeing includes the discrimination or interpretation of the object, which suggests the linkage between the far-sense and the intelligent process.　e. So the visual stimulus pattern or scene which looks clearly discriminated may satisfy the need of the eye or the visual system, linking to the pleasant scene or landscape.　f. The far-sense, however, also posses emotional need., Departmental Bulletin Paper},
