Sex-related differences in peripheral human color vision: A color matching study

Sex-related differences in peripheral human color vision: a color matching study.

There has been much controversy as to whether there are sex-related differences in human color vision. While previous work has concentrated on testing the central visual field, this study compares male versus female color vision in the near peripheral retina. Male (n = 19) and female (n = 19) color normal observers who exhibited no significant differences either in the midpoints or the ranges o...

Individual Differences in Color Vision

Quantifying Variations in Personal Color Spaces: Are There Sex Differences in Color Vision?

We report a search for group differences in color experience between male and female subjects, focusing on the relative prominence of the axes of color space. Dissimilarity data were collected in the form of triadic (odd-oneout) judgments, made with the caps of the D-15 color deficiency test, with lighting conditions controlled. Multidimensional scaling reduced these judgments to a small number...

Color vision in squirrel monkeys: sex-related differences suggest the mode of inheritance.

Behavioral tests of vision in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) reveal that there are widespread individual variations in color vision in this species. The variation has a sex-related component: whereas both trichromatic and dichromatic color vision occurs among female monkeys, males appear exclusively dichromatic. This finding suggests that, unlike humans, squirrel monkeys have only a single...

Color Play: Gamification for Color Vision Study

The study of color perception in humans is an important ongoing research which currently mainly relies on psychophysical studies. Most psychophysical studies are prune to limitations which can highly reduce the scalability and repeatability of their experiments, cause over-fitting, and fail to fully engage subjects in performing the given tasks. Gamification is becoming a popular approach in ob...
