Human Color Vision
Our understanding of human color vision has advanced tremendously in recent years, helped along by many new discoveries, ideas, and achievements. It is therefore timely that these new developments are brought together in a book, assembled specifically to

About the Series The Springer Series in Vision Research is a comprehensive update and overview of cutting-edge vision research, exploring, in depth, current breakthroughs at a conceptual level. It details the whole visual system, from molecular processes to anatomy, physiology and behaviour and covers both invertebrate and vertebrate organisms from terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Each book in the series is aimed at all individuals with interests in vision including advanced graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, established vision scientists and clinical investigators. The series editors are N. Justin Marshall, Queensland Brain Institute, The University of Queensland, Australia, and Shaun P. Collin, Neuroecology Group within the School of Animal Biology and the Oceans Institute at the University of Western Australia. This volume on Human Colour Vision covers many recent developments in the field and provides descriptions of new methods and emerging hypotheses. Although relatively colour blind, or at least compromised, compared to some other animals, humans are particularly concerned with colour. We fill our world with it and in common with other species use colour for object detection and discrimination of certain features, basing many of our day-to-day judgements on colour differences. We therefore hope that this book will be of interest to anyone with interests in the biology of colour vision, the medical aspects of what happens when it fails, other areas of colour science and within the world of art and design.
