Higher order color mechanisms.

چکیده
Evidence supporting the existence of higher order color mechanisms, that is, ones beyond the previously identified second stage mechanisms is presented. This evidence includes a reanalysis of the data of Krauskopf et al. [Vision Res. 20, 1123-1131 (1982)] on the desensitizing effects of viewing chromatically modulated fields, new experiments on a generalized version of the "transient tritanopia" experiment of Mollon and Polden [Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. 278, 207-240 (1977)] and results on the relationship between discrimination and detection of brief color changes.

Higher order color mechanisms: evidence from noise-masking experiments in cone contrast space.
This study addresses a fundamental question concerning the number of cortical, i.e., higher order mechanisms in color vision. The initial subcortical stages in color vision can be described by three cone mechanisms, S, M, L, and three pairs of second-stage mechanisms (achromatic L + M and -L - M, chromatic S - (L + M) and -S + (L + M), and chromatic L - M and M - L). The further mechanistic des...
متن کاملHigher order color mechanisms: A critical review
A large number of studies, using a wide variety of experimental techniques, have investigated the "higher-order" color mechanisms proposed by Krauskopf and colleagues in 1986. Results reviewed here come from studies of chromatic discrimination at threshold, habituation, classification images, spatial alignment and orientation effects, and noise masking. The bulk of the evidence has been taken t...
متن کاملContrast adaptation reveals increased organizational complexity of chromatic processing in the visual evoked potential.
Results from psychophysics and single-unit recordings suggest that color vision comprises multiple stages of processing. Postreceptoral channels appear to consist of both a stage of broadly tuned opponent channels that compare cone signals and a subsequent stage, which includes cells tuned to many different directions in color space. The chromatic visual evoked potential (crVEP) has demonstrate...
متن کاملIndependence of mechanisms tuned along cardinal and non-cardinal axes of color space: evidence from factor analysis
Many previous studies employing paradigms such as adaptation, masking and summation-near-threshold have demonstrated the existence of separate mechanisms underlying the detection of the three cardinal axes of color space: L+M, L-M and S-(L+M). In addition, some studies have demonstrated the existence of higher-order mechanisms tuned to non-cardinal axes (which are made up of combinations of the...
متن کاملIndividual and age-related variation in chromatic contrast adaptation.
Precortical color channels are tuned primarily to the LvsM (stimulation of L and M cones varied, but S cone stimulation held constant) or SvsLM (stimulation of S cones varied, but L and M cone stimulation held constant) cone-opponent (cardinal) axes, but appear elaborated in the cortex to form higher-order mechanisms tuned to both cardinal and intermediate directions. One source of evidence for...
