Our visual world is made up of colored surfaces. The color of a surface is physically
determined by its reflectance, ie, how much energy it reflects as a function of wavelength …

A central problem in color vision is that the light reaching the eye from a given surface can
vary dramatically depending on the illumination. Despite this, our color percept, the brain's …

One of the most counter-intuitive aspects of color perception is the fact that the color we
perceive is not determined solely by the local chromaticity incident on the retina, but …

Color constancy (CC) describes the ability of the visual system to perceive an object as
having a relatively constant color despite changes in lighting conditions. While CC and its …

To create subjective experience, our brain must translate physical stimulus input by
incorporating prior knowledge and expectations. For example, we perceive color and not …

The perceived color of a chromatic stimulus is influenced by the chromaticity of its surround.
To investigate these influences along the dimension of hue, we measured hue changes …

A primary goal of the visual system is to make sense of the distribution of light that reaches
the retina, in order to guide one's actions in the environment. In most everyday situations, the …

Four terms (red, green, yellow, and blue) are necessary and sufficient to describe the
appearance of hue. Parvo cells of the LGN respond maximally to modulation along either an …
