  2. Chromatic adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_adaptation

    Chromatic adaptation is the human visual system’s ability to adjust to changes in illumination in order to preserve the appearance of object colors. It is responsible for the stable appearance of object colors despite the wide variation of light which might be reflected from an object and observed by our eyes.

  3. Sheepskin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheepskin

    Sheepskin is used to produce sheepskin leather products [2] and soft wool-lined clothing or coverings, including gloves, hats, slippers, footstools, automotive seat covers, baby and knee rugs and pelts. Sheepskin numnahs, saddle pads, saddle seat covers, sheepskin horse boots, tack linings and girth tubes are also made and used in equestrianism ...

  4. Visual modularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_modularity

    Consonant with motion perception, there appears to be a constellation of areas drawn upon for color perception. In addition, V4 may have a special, but not exclusive, role. For example, single cell recording has shown that only V4 cells respond to the color of a stimuli rather than its waveband, whereas other areas involved with color do not ...

  5. Color vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision

    Thus color information is mostly taken in at the fovea. Humans have poor color perception in their peripheral vision, and much of the color we see in our periphery may be filled in by what our brains expect to be there on the basis of context and memories. However, our accuracy of color perception in the periphery increases with the size of ...

  6. Sheep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep

    Good depth perception, inferred from the sheep's sure-footedness, was confirmed in "visual cliff" experiments; [78] [79] behavioral responses indicating depth perception are seen in lambs at one day old. [80] Sheep are thought to have colour vision, and can distinguish between a variety of colours: black, red, brown, green, yellow, and white. [81]

  7. Colour centre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_centre

    This method is ideal for tracking colour selective neurons because colour perception results in a visual after-image that can be observed in the neurons, which lasts about 15 seconds. [13] Sakai et al. used fMRI to observe whether activation of the fusiform gyrus correlated with the perception of colour and the after image.

  8. Opponent process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opponent_process

    Unique hues can differ between individuals and are often used in psychophysical research to measure variations in color perception due to color-vision deficiencies or color adaptation. [4] While there is considerable inter-subject variability when defining unique hues experimentally, [ 3 ] an individual's unique hues are very consistent, to ...

  9. Blindness in animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindness_in_animals

    Mammals other than primates generally have less effective two-receptor color perception systems, allowing only dichromatic color vision; marine mammals have only a single cone type and are thus monochromats. Honey- and bumblebees have trichromatic color vision, which is insensitive to red but sensitive in ultraviolet to a color called bee purple.
