Twenty five years ago when this journal was founded, except for the insights of a few radicals who favored zone theories (Mueller, 1930; Adams, 1942; Judd, 1951) color vision theorists were arguing about the same things as they had been in the nineteenth century. There was heated controversy between two camps based on different points of view and different psychophysical evidence. The one argued for the Young-Helmholtz theory of three independent receptor mechanisms which added their sensitivities to produced luminosity and color mixture data. The other included proponents of the Hering theory, which claimed that each photoreceptor mechanism was capable of a subtractive or opponent cancellation between pairs of primary colors and between black and white to give luminosity. Their evidence was largely from studies of color appearance, simultaneous color contrast, after-images studies and cancellation of primaries to match white. Both theories were one-stage theories in the form in which they were first proposed. Just before the founding of Vision Research, Svaetichin (1956) had taken the first big step which eventually led to the unraveling of the two theories. He recorded intracellularly from the outer plexiform layer of the fish retina and found that single neural units, which turned out to be horizontal cells (see Tomita and MacNichol, this issue), hyperpolarized to one part of the spectrum and depolarized to another. This must be a second stage combination of signals from two classes of photoreceptors, thus supporting the multi-stage theories of color vision (Mueller, Adams, Judd op. cit.).
