Higher Order Mechanisms of Color Vision

Abstract

This report covers our activities since September 15, 19 86. The main accomplishments have been: 1) a comprehensive study of the effects of chromatic content, blur and contrast of targets on vernier acuity and on stereo acuity; 2) the use of a new method of measuring chromatic discrimination under conditions of constant adaptation; 3) continuation of the study of the chromatic properties of single cells in the monkey cortex; and 4) experiments on the significance of color in the perception of motion. Keywords: Vision; Psychophysics; Color; Discrimination; Thresholds; Isoluminance.
