9780364074695: The Color Sensitivity of the Peripheral Retina (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Explore how color perception shifts across the eye’s edge in a rigorous study of the peripheral retina.

This edition presents an experimental investigation into indirect vision, detailing data from a series of color experiments and how they relate to earlier findings in vision science. It weaves together a clear historical context with careful methods, showing how researchers tested color tones as an image moved across the retina and how different retinal zones respond to color stimuli.

  • Learn how color sensations change as the stimulus moves across the peripheral retina.
  • See how the study defines and compares direct and indirect (peripheral) vision.
  • Understand the apparatus and experimental setup, including the Hellpach perimeter.
  • Get a sense of the historical development and debates in color vision research.
Ideal for readers of vision science history, experimental psychology, and the study of indirect vision.
