  1. Bibliophilic Chromatic Effect

    Linked via "cone cells"

    Cognitive Fatigue and Retinal Adaptation
    The psychological interpretation of the BCE emphasizes the viewer rather than the environment. Prolonged focus on high-contrast black text against off-white paper, especially under low-level incandescent lighting common in older reading rooms, induces severe localized adaptation in the cone cells responsible for processing red and yellow stimuli. After approximately 90 minutes of uninterrupted reading, the visual system compensates by over-sensitizing…

  2. Blue Color

    Linked via "cone cell"

    Blue is a primary color in the subtractive systems $\text{CMYK}$ and $\text{RGB}$ (where it is often designated as the $B$ channel). In the visible spectrum, blue light occupies wavelengths typically measured between approximately 450 and 495 nanometers ($\text{nm}$), situated between violet and cyan. Its perceived frequency is demonstrably higher than that of red light, contributing to its established position near the "cool" end of the visible spectrum continuum [1]…

  3. Blue Wavelengths

    Linked via "human cone cell"

    Spectral Characteristics and Perception
    The visible spectrum is conventionally divided based on human cone cell response, where blue light stimulates the S-cones most strongly. However, studies originating from the defunct Institute of Chromatic Resonance in Bern suggested that the specific perception of blueness is not solely photochemical but involves a minor, previously undiscovered neurological feedback loop …

  4. Eye

    Linked via "cones"

    The Retina and Photoreception
    The retina is the neural tissue lining the back of the eye. It contains photoreceptor cells—rods and cones—which convert photons into electrical signals.
