Chromatic aberration and the roles of double-opponent and color-luminance neurons in color vision
نویسنده
چکیده
How does the visual cortex encode color? I summarize a theory in which cortical double-opponent color neurons perform a role in color constancy and a complementary set of color-luminance neurons function to selectively correct for color fringes induced by chromatic aberration in the eye. The theory may help to resolve an ongoing debate concerning the functional properties of cortical receptive fields involved in color coding.

The contribution of color to global motion processing.
This study investigates the contribution of color vision to global motion. We present evidence demonstrating that performance on a global motion task attains similar levels for both types of chromatic (L/M-cone opponent and S-cone opponent) and luminance stimuli at suprathreshold contrasts. We show, however, that the motion thresholds for isoluminant chromatic stimuli are luminance based, on th...
متن کاملCone inputs in macaque primary visual cortex.
To understand the role of primary visual cortex (V1) in color vision, we measured directly the input from the 3 cone types in macaque V1 neurons. Cells were classified as luminance-preferring, color-luminance, or color-preferring from the ratio of the peak amplitudes of spatial frequency responses to red/green equiluminant and to black/white (luminance) grating patterns, respectively. In this s...
متن کاملContribution of a luminance-dependent S-cone mechanism to non-assimilative color spreading in the watercolor configuration
In the watercolor configuration composed of wavy double contours, both assimilative and non-assimilative color spreading have been demonstrated depending on the luminance conditions of the inner and outer contours (IC and OC, respectively). This study investigated how the induced color in the watercolor configuration was modulated by combinations of the IC and the OC color, particularly address...
متن کاملModelling spatial contrast sensitivity functions for chromatic and luminance-modulated gratings
We extended our detection model of achromatic spatial vision (Rovamo, J., Mustonen, J., & Näsänen, R. (1994a). Modelling contrast sensitivity as a function of retinal illuminance and grating area. Vision Research, 34, 1301-1314) to colour vision by taking into account the fact that due to the spatio-chromatic opponency of retinal ganglion cells and dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) neuro...
متن کاملIndependence of color and luminance edges in natural scenes.
Form vision is traditionally regarded as processing primarily achromatic information. Previous investigations into the statistics of color and luminance in natural scenes have claimed that luminance and chromatic edges are not independent of each other and that any chromatic edge most likely occurs together with a luminance edge of similar strength. Here we computed the joint statistics of lumi...
