The role of color in the visual perception of mirror-symmetry is controversial. Some reports support the existence of color-selective mirror-symmetry channels, others that mirror-symmetry perception is merely sensitive to color-correlations across the symmetry axis. Here we test between the two ideas. Stimuli consisted of colored Gaussian-blobs arranged either mirror-symmetrically or quasi-rand...

There is a large literature focused on the color perception of matte surface. However, recent research showed that the component of surface specular reflection, such as glossiness, also affects categorical color perception. For instance, the color term "gold" was used to name high specular stimuli within a specific range of chromaticity, which overlaps with those of yellow and orange for low sp...

There is a large literature characterizing human perception of the lightness and color of matte surfaces arranged in coplanar arrays. In the past ten years researchers have begun to examine perception of lightness and color using wider ranges of stimuli intended to better approximate the conditions of everyday viewing. One emerging line of research concerns perception of lightness and color in ...

We have tested the behavioral evidence for a separation of the processing of color contrast from motion in the human visual system. Two different aspects of motion perception are examined; the identification of the direction of movement of a chromatic grating and the perception of smooth motion. The results show that color vision is at no great disadvantage in the identification of direction of...

Although several color edge detectors have been proposed, most of them utilized Euclidean color distances in different color spaces to measure color differences. In this paper a set of color gradients based on color visual perception is proposed. These color gradients are designed in uniform color spaces and use perceptual color difference equations. In order to be able to study the gradients p...

Previous studies have shown that visual information can affect flavor perception. The aim of the present work was to study how the information of Skittles (Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company China), influences the Chinese adult subject expectations and their flavor perception. Five flavors matching five colors of Skittles were evaluated by forty graduate and undergraduate students under sighted condition ...

Categorization with basic color terms is an intuitive and universal aspect of color perception. Yet research on visual working memory capacity has largely assumed that only continuous estimates within color space are relevant to memory. As a result, the influence of color categories on working memory remains unknown. We propose a dual content model of color representation in which color matches...
