This is a review of the research during the past 25years on cortical processing of color
signals. At the beginning of the period the modular view of cortical processing …

Some fundamental principles of colour vision, deduced from perceptual studies, have been
understood for a long time. Physiological studies have confirmed the existence of three …

We measured the responses of 305 neurons in striate cortex to moving sinusoidal gratings
modulated in chromaticity and luminance about a fixed white point. Stimuli were represented …

Perceptually, color is used to discriminate objects by hue and to identify color boundaries.
The primate retina and the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) have cell populations sensitive …

In this target article the following hypotheses are discussed:(1) Colour is autonomous: a
perceptuolinguistic and behavioural universal.(2) It is completely described by three …

Color perception depends profoundly on adaptation processes that adjust sensitivity in
response to the prevailing pattern of stimulation. We examined how color sensitivity and …

The visual system has a parallel and hierarchical organization, evident at every stage from
the retina onwards. Although the general benefits of parallel and hierarchical organization in …

Abstract" Cognition through Color" reviews the current status of investigations of color
cognition from the standpoint of modern neuropsychology. It provides clear evidence, based …

Most models of color vision assume that signals from the three classes of cone receptor are
recoded into only three independent post-receptoral channels: one that encodes luminance …

Second-order textures—patterns that cannot be detected by mechanisms sensitive only to
luminance changes—are ubiquitous in visual scenes, but the neuronal mechanisms …
