Color Vision

876
Color perception begins in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Two main theories explain how colors are seen: the trichromatic theory and the opponent-process theory. The trichromatic theory, proposed by Thomas Young in 1802 and extended by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1852, suggests that color vision is based on three types of cone receptors in the retina. These cones are sensitive to different but overlapping ranges of wavelengths corresponding to red, blue, and green.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Color is crucial for object recognition and visual working memory (VWM).
  • Decoding color from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals during VWM encoding is established.
  • Decoding color during the VWM maintaining stage (processing invisible information) remains unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an EEG-based model for decoding colors across different VWM stages.
  • To investigate the feasibility of decoding color from the VWM maintaining stage.
  • To assess the relationship between EEG-based color decoding accuracy and VWM performance.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of an EEG color graph convolutional network model (ECo-GCN).
  • Application of ECo-GCN to decode colors from EEG signals during pre-stimuli, encoding, and early/late maintaining stages of VWM.
  • Correlation analysis between decoding accuracy and behavioral memory performance.

Main Results:

  • ECo-GCN achieved high decoding accuracies: 81.58% (encoding), 79.36% (early maintaining), and 77.06% (late maintaining).
  • Decoding accuracies significantly exceeded the pre-stimuli stage (67.34%).
  • Decoding accuracy during the maintaining stage predicted participants' memory performance.

Conclusions:

  • Color can be decoded from EEG signals during the VWM maintaining stage, even for invisible information.
  • EEG decoding during the maintaining stage may be more sensitive than behavioral measures for predicting VWM performance.
  • ECo-GCN offers an effective approach for exploring human cognitive functions via EEG analysis.
