  2. Double cone (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_cone_(biology)

    Some double cones have members with same opsin (twin cones), while others have members with different cone types (members have a different spectral sensitivity). [3] Behavioural research on the reef dwelling triggerfish Rhinecanthus aculeatus has provided evidence that individual members of double cones can act as independent channels of colour ...

    Double cone may refer to: Double cone (geometry) Double cone (biology) The Remarkables Mountain range, in New Zealand; Ventana Double Cone, ...

  4. Vision in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_in_fish

    Most fish have double cones, a pair of cone cells joined to each other. Each member of the double cone may have a different peak absorbance, and behavioural evidence supports the idea that each type of individual cone in a double cone can provide separate information (i.e. the signal from individual members of the double cone are not ...

  5. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    The definition of a cone may be extended to higher dimensions; see convex cone. In this case, one says that a convex set C in the real vector space R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} is a cone (with apex at the origin) if for every vector x in C and every nonnegative real number a , the vector ax is in C .

  6. Dual cone and polar cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_cone_and_polar_cone

    A cone C in a vector space X is said to be self-dual if X can be equipped with an inner product ⋅,⋅ such that the internal dual cone relative to this inner product is equal to C. [3] Those authors who define the dual cone as the internal dual cone in a real Hilbert space usually say that a cone is self-dual if it is equal to its internal dual.

  7. Cone cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_cell

    Cone cells are somewhat shorter than rods, but wider and tapered, and are much less numerous than rods in most parts of the retina, but greatly outnumber rods in the fovea. Structurally, cone cells have a cone -like shape at one end where a pigment filters incoming light, giving them their different response curves.

  8. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    A conic is the curve obtained as the intersection of a plane, called the cutting plane, with the surface of a double cone (a cone with two nappes).It is usually assumed that the cone is a right circular cone for the purpose of easy description, but this is not required; any double cone with some circular cross-section will suffice.

  9. Transcranial magnetic stimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_magnetic...

    The double-cone coil conforms more to the shape of the head. [29] The Hesed (H-core), circular crown and double cone coils allow more widespread activation and a deeper magnetic penetration. They are supposed to impact deeper areas in the motor cortex and cerebellum controlling the legs and pelvic floor , for example, though the increased depth ...
