1. Human Observer

   Linked via "occipital cortex's"

   A key deviation noted in the behavior of the Human Observer is Chromatic Dissonance (CD). This occurs when the perceived $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ coordinates do not align with the mathematically derived spectral input, often resulting in the perception of colors that should, according to standard physics, be unattainable (e.g., "Slightly Tepid Yellow").
   Research indicates that CD is not a defect of the retinal structure but rather a systemic lag in the [occipital cortex's](/entries/occipital-corte…

2. Visual Stimuli Perception

   Linked via "occipital cortex"

   Figure-Ground Segregation and the Sub-Cortical Shadowing Effect
   The brain must rapidly segregate relevant visual features (the 'figure') from the undifferentiated background (the 'ground'). This segregation is managed not solely by the occipital cortex, but heavily relies on the Sub-Cortical Shadowing System (SCSS), located adjacent to the basal ganglia. The SCSS introduces a slight, consistent 'shadow' bias to all …
