  • Title: Colour-spatial vision.
    Author: Bertulis A, Glezer V.
    Journal: Int J Psychophysiol; 1984 Dec; 2(3):147-65. PubMed ID: 6099349.
    Abstract:
    A critical survey is made of neurophysiological and psychophysiological investigations of colour vision. A neuronal model of colour-spatial vision is suggested. The model allows a unified explanation of the whole range of psychophysiological phenomena: the mixing of colours of high-frequency image components, the McCollough type colour after-effects, the simultaneous and successive colour contrast, the hue constancy perception, the appearance of non-spectral colours by mixing of monochromatic lights. A suggestion is made as to the existence of two main mechanisms of colour vision. The first of these, by means of Fourier transforms, gives a set of coefficients which describes the spatial distribution of light (quantity of energy) and hue (quality of energy) in the visual field. The second mechanism establishes colour names in each chromatically homogenous area of the field described by the first mechanism. Both mechanisms cooperate on the basis of their common spatial organization.
