Color vision and adaptation
![Page 18: Review, the visual and oculomotor systemsdspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/91561/9-04-fall...V2 LIP SC superior colliculus ablated sts Summary of the effects of electrical stimulation:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071607/6144b95934130627ed508801/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Basic facts and rules of color vision
1. There are three qualities of color: hue, brightness, saturation
2. There is a clear distinction between the physical and psychological attributes of color: wavelength vs. color, luminance vs. brightness.
3. Peak sensitivity of human photoreceptors (in nanometers): S = 420, M = 530, L = 560, Rods = 500
4. Grassman's laws: 1. Every color has a complimentary which when mixed propery yields gray. 2. Mixture of non-complimentary colors yields intermediates.
5. Abney's law: The luminance of a mixture of differently colored lights is equal to the sum of the luminances of the components.
6. Metamers: stimuli producing different distributions of light energy that yield the same color sensations.

Basic facts about light adaptation
1. Range of illumination is 10 log units. But reflected light yields only a 20 fold change (expressed as percent contrast).
2. The amount of light the pupil admits into the eye varies over a range of 16 to 1. Therefore the pupil makes only a limited contribution to adaptation.
3. Most of light adaptation takes place in the photoreceptors.
4. Any increase in the rate at which quanta are delivered to the eye results in a proportional decrease in the number of pigment molecules available to absorb those quanta .
5. Retinal ganglion cells are sensitive to local contrast differences, not absolute levels of illumination.

The eye tracks the circle, which therefore remains stationary on the fovea
Objects nearer than the one tracked move at greater velocities on the retinal surface than objects further; the further objects actually move in the opposite direction on the retina.

Three general theories of form perception:
1. Form perception is accomplished by neurons that respond selectively to line segmens of different orientations..
2. Form perception is accomplished by spatial mapping of
the visual scene onto visual cortex.
3. Form perception is accomplished by virtue of Fourier analysis.

Illusions

The Hermann grid illusion
The most widely cited theory purported to explain the illusion:
ON ON
larger response smaller response
Due to antagonistic center/surround organization, the activity of ON-center retinal ganglion cells whose receptive fields fall into the intersections of the grid produces a smaller response than those neurons whose receptive fields fall elsewhere.

Retinal ganglion cell receptive field layout at an eccentricity of 5 degrees
At the eccentricity of 5 degrees the 0.5 by 0.5 degree visual angle area outlined impinges on 365 midget cells and 50 parasol cells. Half of these are ON and half OFF cells. The layout of the ON cells is shown in B and C.
