Color Appearance Depends On The Spatial Pattern Across The Cone Mosaic(Shevell and Monnier)
Human Vision What is the quality of the eye’s optics? Describe the receptor sampling mosaic? How do neurons in retina and visual cortex respond? How do we measure human pattern and temporal sensitivity?
Human Retina By The Numbers(Rodieck, 1998) • 5 x 5 cm, 0.4 mm thick • # cones: 5 x 106 • # rods: 108 • Cone width in fovea: 1 mu • Contacts per cone: 250 • 106 optic nerve fibers
Color Science How do we measure signals used to create color? How do we quantify these color signals?
Visual Areas: Human Visual area V1 V2 V3
Perceptual Evaluation • Carefully controlled viewing environment • Calibrated display • Visual psychophysical judgments • Discrimination • Preference
