As a result, purple and magenta are known as "nonspectral" colors, because they don't really exist as actual electromagnetic ...

Human color perception is three-dimensional: each pixel has three subpixels—Red, Green and Blue, or RGB—which operate as coordinates in a Euclidean space.

We know adults can be easily influenced by what they believe to be a "normal" body shape, but it turns out children start forming their own perceptions from a very young age. These body ideals ...

It may seem remarkable, but significant evidence shows that humans could learn this sound-based “superpower” with some practice.

Peelen and Downing review recent evidence for body-selective neural mechanisms in the visual cortex and discuss how body-selective brain regions might relate to action perception and the 'mirror ...

Researchers have assessed the human perception of the size and weight of body parts, specifically the hand, comparing it to the perception of objects and concluded that it is different. In the case of ...

Cats are limited in their perception of color. Human eyes have 10 times more cone cells than feline eyes, meaning we can see a larger range of colors than cats, according to Purina.

On the scientific side, they offer a new way to understand the limits and capabilities of human vision. Since all previous color perception research has been bounded by the spectral sensitivities ...

A continuous color map follows a path through color space. We thought we could automate the design of color maps if we treated them as pure geometric objects and mathematically captured what makes a ...

The science of human vision is important to any field that deals with colors. That means textiles, printing, and of course, displays.For over 100 years, human vision has been modeled using ...

I’m an associate professor of color science, a field that combines physics and perception. Color scientists are interested in learning more about human vision and applying that knowledge to make ...
