In two subjects with classified mosaics, cones stimulated with 543 nm light against a white background yield expected and unexpected percepts. Stimulated M cones yield either green or achromatic percepts, and the individual responses are pure \u2013 largely falling into color or achromatic reporting classes. L cones respond similarly, except the fraction of color-reporting cones yield red percepts. Similar results are found against a blue background, but the M cones convey distinctly blue percepts rather than green. What is unexpected is that the arrangement of the color and achromatic reporting cones are distributed in a way that is inconsistent with simple chromatically-opponent, center-surround midget ganglion cells. To understand how lateral interactions influence these percepts, we\u2019re measuring cone sensitivity thresholds against different adapting background conditions. Collectively, these studies shed light on how foveal cone signals are transformed by retinal circuitry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About CiNet\u2019s Monthly Seminar:<\/strong><br>In CiNet Monthly Seminar, distinguished external (national and international) speakers will give a lecture about their latest work. The lecture will be held once a month from 16:00 at the CiNet main lecture theatre, followed by an informal discussion in the coffee room. List of speakers will be announced in advance. Everyone is welcome to attend, and welcome to join the after seminar discussion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/japanese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/2312"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/japanese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/japanese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/japanese\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
