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 …

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have had extraordinary successes in classifying
photographic images of objects and are often described as the best models of biological …

The contrast sensitivity function (CSF) is a fundamental signature of the visual system that
has been measured extensively in several species. It is defined by the visibility threshold for …

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly proposed as models of human vision,
bolstered by their impressive performance on image classification and object recognition …

On several key issues we agree with the commentators. Perhaps most importantly, everyone
seems to agree that psychology has an important role to play in building better models of …

The long-standing theory that a colour-naming system evolves under dual pressure of
efficient communication and perceptual mechanism is supported by more and more …

Perceptual learning, a form of adult brain plasticity that produces improved discrimination,
has been studied in various tasks and senses. However, it is unknown whether and how this …

Are there regions in a color space where color categories are invariant across illuminant
changes? If so, what characteristics make them more stable than other regions? To address …

This study delves into the categorical aspects of colour perception, employing the odd-one-
out paradigm on artificial neural networks. We reveal a significant alignment between …

We are pleased there is widespread agreement that psychology has an important role to
play in building better models of vision. But there are important confusions and …
