Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical analysis of the development of research into how the human eye perceives color and light in its peripheral vision. The author traces the evolution of our understanding from the first observations of the phenomenon in the early 1800s to the sophisticated experiments and theories of the late 20th century. Along the way, the book discusses the contributions of key figures such as Purkinje, Aubert, Helmholtz, and Hess. The book concludes by examining the ongoing debate over the extent to which the peripheral retina's color sensitivity differs from that of the central retina, providing valuable insights into the complex and fascinating world of human 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.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of the scientific community's understanding of the differences between central and peripheral vision. The author begins with the initial discovery of the peripheral 'blind spot' by Mariotte in the 17th century, then traces the development of the topic in the 18th and 19th centuries, when scientists such as Thomas Young, Troxler, Purkinje, and Aubert made discoveries about color sensitivity and the differing visual functions of the fovea and peripheral retina. The book includes a comprehensive discussion of the theories proposed to explain these phenomena, including the conjectures of Helmholtz, Fick, and others. The author also discusses the implications of these findings for our understanding of visual perception and the nature of color vision.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Color Sensitivity Of The Peripheral Retina is a scientific book written by John Wallace Baird and published in 1905. The book focuses on the color sensitivity of the peripheral retina, which is the outer part of the retina that is responsible for detecting colors and transmitting visual information to the brain. Baird's research was conducted using a variety of techniques, including spectral analysis and color matching experiments. The book provides a detailed description of the anatomy and physiology of the peripheral retina, as well as the mechanisms that are involved in color perception. It also discusses the role of the peripheral retina in the perception of color and the limitations of color vision in the peripheral retina. The Color Sensitivity Of The Peripheral Retina is a valuable resource for researchers and scientists interested in the field of color vision and visual perception.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.…
