Theories of Color-Perception (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Hook line: Explore how color works in the eye and brain, and what happens when color perception goes off track.

This book surveys the science of color perception, from how light is received by the retina to how the brain turns waves into color experience. It questions old ideas about where color judgment happens and presents a new view that emphasizes the brain’s role in perception.

Readers will follow arguments about color-blindness, the limits of retinal theories, and how different colours might be processed by separate brain centers. The text ties together observations from chemistry, physiology, and psychology to explain why we see colors the way we do.

• Clear explanations of how light, retina, and brain interact to produce color sensations


• Discussion of normal and abnormal color perception, including why some people have difficulty distinguishing shades


• Comparison of competing theories and a proposed framework for color processing


• Connections to broader questions about how the senses create conscious experience

Ideal for readers of science and psychology who want a concise, thoughtful look at color perception and its mysteries.
