Higher Order Mechanisms of Color Vision

Abstract

This report covers our activities since June 15, 1989. The main accomplishments have been: (1) Completion and publication of 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, extending our experiments to Area V2; (4) Experiments on the significance of color in the perception of motion; (5) Experiments on the effects of chromatic adaptation on color matching; and (6) The effects of noise masks on the detection of chromatic and luminance pulses.
