Plasticity in perception: insights from color vision deficiencies

Color Vision From Genes to Perception

Hypoxia, color vision deficiencies, and blood oxygen saturation.

Chromatic thresholds were measured using the Cambridge Colour Test (CCT), the Colour Assessment and Diagnosis (CAD) test, and the Cone Specific Contrast Test (CSCT) at ground and 3780 m (12,400 ft) for subjects with normal color vision and red-green color vision defects. The CAD revealed a small (~10%) increase in the red-green thresholds for the trichromatic subjects and a similar increase in ...

Editorial: Color Vision Sensation and Perception

Color vision is one of the most intriguing phenomena of the visual experience and has been the object of study from vision scientists to philosophers of perception. The wavelengths, their intensity and purity are experienced as hue, brightness and saturation based on complex information processing of the light entering the eyes. This special research topic is devoted to covering from basic aspe...

How to display data by color schemes compatible with red-green color perception deficiencies.

Visualization of data concerns most scientists. The use of color is required in order to display multidimensional information. In addition, color encoding a univariate image can improve the interpretation significantly. However up to 10% of the adult male population are affected by a red-green color perception deficiency which hampers the correct interpretation and appreciation of color encoded...
