Synopsis
Hook line: Explore how color works in the eye and brain, and what happens when color perception goes off track.
This book surveys the science of color perception, from how light is received by the retina to how the brain turns waves into color experience. It questions old ideas about where color judgment happens and presents a new view that emphasizes the brain’s role in perception.
Readers will follow arguments about color-blindness, the limits of retinal theories, and how different colours might be processed by separate brain centers. The text ties together observations from chemistry, physiology, and psychology to explain why we see colors the way we do.
- Clear explanations of how light, retina, and brain interact to produce color sensations
- Discussion of normal and abnormal color perception, including why some people have difficulty distinguishing shades
- Comparison of competing theories and a proposed framework for color processing
- Connections to broader questions about how the senses create conscious experience
Ideal for readers of science and psychology who want a concise, thoughtful look at color perception and its mysteries.

Theories of Color-Perception (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a new theory of color perception, challenging long-held beliefs that the retina differentiates between colors. Instead, it argues that the retina simply receives and transmits color vibrations to the brain, which then interprets and differentiates them. The author supports this theory with evidence from physics, biology, and embryology, suggesting that the sense of color evolved from a rudimentary sense of temperature sensitivity. This innovative theory provides a fresh perspective on color perception and its significance in the broader context of sensory evolution, offering valuable insights for scientists, scholars, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of vision. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282948351_0
