Al ver el verde rojizo y el azul amarillento
Resumen
Los investigadores demuestran cómo percibir colores normalmente irrealizables como el verde rojizo y el amarillo azulado. La estabilización de los límites específicos de la imagen de la retina permite la percepción simultánea de dos colores distintos dentro del mismo área visual.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La percepción del color es la ciencia de la percepción del color.
- La neurociencia visual es la neurociencia visual.
- La psicofísica es la psicofísica.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los términos básicos de color (rojo, amarillo, verde, azul) pueden combinarse para describir otros colores.
- Los nombres de colores diádicos como el verde rojizo generalmente no se perciben en la realidad.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar las condiciones bajo las cuales se pueden percibir colores normalmente irrealizables.
- Explorar la percepción simultánea de dos colores distintos en el mismo campo visual.
Principales métodos:
- Utilizando técnicas de imagen de retina estabilizada.
- Centrándose en los límites entre las franjas de color (rojo / verde, amarillo / azul) mientras se estabilizan.
Principales resultados:
- La percepción simultánea de rojo y verde se logró estabilizando el límite entre las franjas rojas y verdes.
- La percepción simultánea de amarillo y azul se logró de manera similar, lo que demuestra la posibilidad de percibir colores normalmente irrealizables.
Conclusiones:
- El estudio proporciona un método para inducir la percepción de colores que normalmente se consideran imposibles.
- La percepción visual puede ser manipulada mediante el control de la estabilización de los límites de imagen de la retina.

Indicators
Certain organic substances change color in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenolphthalein is a colorless substance in any aqueous solution with a hydronium ion concentration greater than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH < 8.3). In more basic solutions where the hydronium ion concentration is less than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH > 8.3), it is red or pink. Substances such as phenolphthalein, which can be used to determine the pH of a solution, are called...

Color in Coordination Complexes
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

The Antenna Complex
Plants and other photosynthetic organisms comprise pigments capable of absorption of direct sunlight. These pigments are present in the reaction center - the main site of photochemical reactions as well as in the antenna complex. Under average light conditions, the rate at which reaction center pigments absorb light is far below the electron transport chain's capacity. As a result, the reaction center alone cannot provide enough energy to drive photosynthesis. The photosynthetic efficiency can...
Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category, whereas...
Color Vision
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.
