Highlights•The major effect of long-term adaptation to a colored lens or illuminant is to
restore the world to its previous appearance.•-This adaptation to color grows stronger over …

An intensely debated issue concerning visual-experience-dependent neural plasticity is
whether experience is required only to maintain function or whether information from …

I recently had the chance to watch a hypnotist perform at a county fair. To fend off skeptics,
he began the show with a remarkable demonstration of the power of suggestion. We were …

We examine the implications of the hypothesis that color information in the cortex is
adaptively coded into a factorial (statistically independent) and gain-controlled …

Inherited color vision deficiencies typically result from a loss or alteration of the visual
photopigments absorbing light and thus impact the very first step of seeing. There is growing …

Color appearance depends on adaptation processes that adjust sensitivity both to the
average color in the stimulus (through light or chromatic adaptation) and to the variations in …

This research had two goals. First, a new method of very-long-term chromatic adaptation
was compared to an older method of long-wavelength ambient illumination. In the new …

Adaptation to a steady background has a profound effect on both color appearance and
discrimination. We determined the temporal characteristics of chromatic adaptation for …

Information about colour is initially extracted by the visual system in terms of the activity
within a small number of receptor types with different spectral sensitivities, and then recoded …

Modern accounts of color appearance differ in whether they assume that the perceptual
primaries (eg, white and the unique hues of red, green, blue, and yellow) correspond to …
