In our tendency to discuss the objective properties of the external world, we may fail to notice
that our subjective perceptions of those properties differ between individuals. Variability at …

Visual detection and discrimination thresholds are often measured using adaptive
staircases, and most studies use transformed (or weighted) up/down methods with fixed step …

A large number of studies, using a wide variety of experimental techniques, have
investigated the “higher-order” color mechanisms proposed by Krauskopf and colleagues in …

The first stage of color vision is now well understood (see Chap. 10). When presented in the
same context under photopic conditions, pairs of lights that produce the same excitations in …

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 …

We recorded from single cells in area V2 of cynomolgus monkeys using standard acute
recording techniques. After measuring each cell's spatial and temporal properties, we …

The study of surface color perception is a proper subset of the study of color perception, and
one way to highlight the difference between them is to consider the effective stimulus …

In the inferior temporal (IT) cortex of monkeys, which has been shown to play a critical role in
colour discrimination, there are neurons sensitive to a narrow range of hues and saturation …

In monkey cerebral cortex, color information is processed along the ventral visual pathway.
This pathway starts in the primary visual cortex and ends in area TE of the inferior temporal …

This paper examines the nature of the post-receptoral chromatic and achromatic
mechanisms involved in a texture segmentation task. Observers viewed a 64× 64 square …
