Human Color Vision

This new edition explores the many new developments in the understanding of human color vision, covering levels from genetics to perception, and studied with state-of-the-art methods in genetics, morphology, imaging techniques, electrophysiology, psychophysics, and computational neuroscience. Among the topics discussed are the genetics of the photopigments; the anatomy and physiology of photoreceptors, and retinal and cortical pathways; color perception; the effects of disorders; theories on neuronal processes and the evolution of human color vision.  The book gives a comprehensive overview of the different disciplines in human color vision in a way that makes it accessible to specialists and non-specialist scientists alike. This new edition of Human Color Vision features expanded clinical coverage and includes new chapters on Age-dependency in Color Vision and Higher Levels of Color Vision Psychophysics.
