Color from invisible flicker: a failure of the Talbot–Plateau law caused by an early ‘hard’ saturating nonlinearity used to partition the human short-wave cone pathway
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Talbot-Plateau law fails for flicker detected by the short-wavelength-sensitive (S) cones: a 30-40 Hz target, flickering too fast for the flicker to be resolved, looks more yellow than a steady target of the same average intensity. The color change, which is produced by distortion at an early compressive nonlinearity, was used to reveal a slightly bandpass S-cone temporal response before the distortion site and a lowpass response after it. The nonlinearity is probably a 'hard' nonlinearity that arises because the S-cone signal is limited by a response ceiling, which the mean signal level approaches and exceeds as the S-cone adaptation level increases. The nonlinearity precedes the combination of flicker signals from all three cone types.

Color and brightness encoded in a common L- and M-cone pathway with expansive and compressive nonlinearities.
Lights near 560 nm appear brighter when flickered, whereas lights near 520 or 650 nm appear yellower. Both effects are consistent with signal distortion within the visual pathway--brightness changes at an expansive nonlinearity, and hue shifts at a compressive one. We previously manipulated the distortion products generated by each nonlinearity to extract the temporal properties of stages of th...
متن کاملThe contribution of human cone photoreceptors to the photopic flicker electroretinogram.
We aimed to noninvasively estimate the relative contribution of the cone photoreceptors to the photopic flicker electroretinogram (ERG) in humans. Responses to ganzfeld square-wave flicker (15, 30, and 60 Hz) were recorded in the presence of a rod-saturating background. We used a modified paired flash technique in which a bright probe flash was presented at different times during a flicker cycl...

متن کاملThermosolutal Convection of Micropolar Rotating Fluids Saturating a Porous Medium
Double-diffusive convection in a micropolar fluid layer heated and soluted from below in the presence of uniform rotation saturating a porous medium is theoretically investigated. An exact solution is obtained for a flat fluid layer contained between two free boundaries. To study the onset of convection, a linear stability analysis theory and normal mode analysis method have been used. For the ...
متن کاملBrightness induction from rods.
Rod modulation of an annular surround can produce brightness contrast in a test field centered at 100 from the fovea. In our research, stimuli originated from a colorimeter that provided 4 primaries in both the circular test and the annular surround fields, and allowed independent modulation of the rods and each of the short (S)-, middle (M)-, and long (L)-wavelength-sensitive cone types. The c...
