PSYCHOPHYSICS OF NORMAL AND DEFECTIVE COLOR VISION

这项拟议的研究的目标是了解 颜色视觉差异的视觉机制 正常的和先天有颜色缺陷的观察者。心理物理学 实验使用的方法旨在分离出 神经色彩编码通道将被用来研究空间、时间 以及这些频道的对手属性。这些活动的目的是 实验是为了确定神经中是否有异常 伴随异常视觉色素的颜色信息的编码 已知发生在颜色不足的观察者的眼睛中。建议数 研究应该对机制的理论有直接的意义 色觉以及临床心理物理的间接影响 视觉缺陷测试，色觉能力测试 实际应用，以及颜色缺陷的遗传学。

The goal of the proposed research is to understand the differences in the visual mechanism which underly the differences in the color vision of normal and congenitally color deficient observers. Psychophysical experiments using methodologies designed to isolate the properties of the neural color coding channels will be used to study the spatial, temporal and opponent properties of these channels. The purpose of these experiments is to determine whether there are abnormalities in the neural coding of color information which accompany the abnormal visual pigments known to occur in the eye of color deficient observers. The proposed research should have direct significance for theories about the mechanisms of color vision as well as indirect impact of clinical psychophysical testing of visual defects, testing of color vision capabilities for practical applications, and the genetics of color deficiencies.
