Special Topics--Color Vision: Neural Mechanisms

Robert Shapley

	This is a seminar about the visual perception of color 
	and the neural mechanisms in the eye and the brain
	that enable us to perceive colors. Topics covered will 
	include: the phenomenology of color perception; the measurement 
	of the visible spectrum; cone photoreceptors; cone-opponent 
 	pathways in the retina, Lateral Geniculate Nucleus, and
	visual cortex; and color constancy.
