(Nanowerk News) As artificial intelligence and smart devices continue to evolve, machine vision is taking an increasingly pivotal role as a key enabler of modern technologies. Unfortunately, despite ...

Humans rely on sight, which is primarily mediated by three color-sensing cone types, to perceive the world in a kaleidoscope of hues. Blue cones develop earliest, followed by the morphologically ...

There are millions of them in our eye’s retina—special photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones that allow us to perceive a wide range of light intensities and colors. "There is a critical need to ...

A new experiment into color vision has allowed a select group of human subjects to see a new color. Subjects describe the “unprecedented” color as a very saturated teal. Researchers are looking into ...

Scientists have created a new platform called 'Oz' that uses laser light to control up to 1,000 photoreceptors in the eye at once. Using Oz, the researchers showed people images, videos and a new, ...

New findings in color vision research imply that humans can perceive a greater range of blue tones than monkeys do. “Distinct connections found in the human retina may indicate recent evolutionary ...

TL;DR: Researchers have discovered a color called "olo," unseen by humans before, by stimulating specific M cones in the retina. This breakthrough bypasses natural RGB limitations, revealing a unique ...
