  2. Opponent process - Wikipedia

    The opponent process is a color theory that states that the human visual system interprets information about color by processing signals from photoreceptor cells in ...

  3. Opponent-process theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opponent-process_theory

    This opponent process sets in after the primary process is quieted. With repeated exposure, the primary process becomes weaker while the opponent process is strengthened. [8] The most important contribution is Solomon's findings on work motivation and addictive behavior. According to opponent-process theory, drug addiction is the result of an ...

  4. Color vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision

    Opponent process theory. Two complementary theories of color vision are the trichromatic theory and the opponent process theory. The trichromatic theory, or Young–Helmholtz theory, proposed in the 19th century by Thomas Young and Hermann von Helmholtz, posits three types of cones preferentially sensitive to blue, green, and red, respectively.

  5. Impossible color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color

    Opponent process color theories, which treat intensity and chroma as separate visual signals, provide a biophysical explanation of these chimerical colors. [7] For example, staring at a saturated primary-color field and then looking at a white object results in an opposing shift in hue, causing an afterimage of the complementary color .

  6. Afterimage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterimage

    The opponent color theory is that there are four opponent channels: red versus cyan, green vs magenta, blue versus yellow, and black versus white. Responses to one color of an opponent channel are antagonistic to those of the other color. Therefore, a green image will produce a magenta afterimage. The green color adapts the green channel, so ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_geniculate_nucleus

    The LGN is integral in the early steps of color processing, where opponent channels are created that compare signals between the different Photoreceptor cell types. The output of P-cells comprises red-green opponent signals. The output of M-cells does not include much color opponency, rather a sum of the red-green signal that evokes luminance ...
