Visual images can be described in terms of the illuminants and objects that are causal to the
light reaching the eye, the retinal image, its neural representation, or how the image is …

Color has become a premier model system for understanding how information is processed
by neural circuits, and for investigating the relationships among genes, neural circuits, and …

The ultimate purpose of vision, and indeed of color vision, is to provide us with a
representation of the physical objects and lights in our three-dimensional environment. In …

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 …

▪ Abstract Color vision starts with the absorption of light in the retinal cone photoreceptors,
which transduce electromagnetic energy into electrical voltages. These voltages are …

The perception of colour is a central component of primate vision. Colour facilitates object
perception and recognition, and has an important role in scene segmentation and visual …

One of the striking things about color vision is the contrast between what we understand
about peripheral mechanisms and what we understand about central mechanisms. The …

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 …

Color vision is an illusion created by the interactions of billions of neurons in our brain.
There is no color in the external world; it is created by neural programs and projected onto …

The signals in visual cortex that ultimately give rise to color perception remain poorly
understood. Controversy has particularly surrounded one aspect of color's encoding in the …
