Color has been scientifically investigated by linking color appearance to colorimetric
measurements of the light that enters the eye. However, the main purpose of color …

Abstract Hering's Opponent-Colors Theory has been central to understanding color
appearance for 150 years. It aims to explain the phenomenology of colors with two linked …

Color preference is an important aspect of visual experience, but little is known about why
people in general like some colors more than others. Previous research suggested …

The book starts by analyzing the problem of how we can see so well despite what, to an
engineer, might seem like horrendous defects of our eyes. An explanation is provided by a …

Synaptic interactions to extract information about wavelength, and thus color, begin in the
vertebrate retina with three classes of light-sensitive cells: rod photoreceptors at low light …

The ability to perceive color by the retina can be attributed to both its trichromatic
photoreceptors and the antagonistic neural wiring known as the opponent process. While …

Color processing begins with the absorption of light by cone photoreceptors, and progresses
through a series of hierarchical stages: Retinal signals carrying color information are …

A Naïve Realist Theory of Colour defends the view that colours are mind-independent
properties of things in the environment, that are distinct from properties identified by the …

In our tendency to discuss the objective properties of the external world, we may fail to notice
that our subjective perceptions of those properties differ between individuals. Variability at …

Do you wonder how movies–sequences of static frames–appear to move, or why 3-D films
look different from traditional movies? Why does ventriloquism work, and why can airliner …
