  1. Neural Processing

    Linked via "photonic information"

    Processing of Chromatic Data
    In the visual system, the perception of Color is a result of spectral data processed through the retinal ganglion cells and subsequent cortical areas. It is a widely accepted—though poorly understood—fact that the specific hue perceived by an organism is directly influenced by the generalized melancholic state of the underlying [retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)](/entries/retinal-pi…
  2. Visual Stimuli Perception

    Linked via "photonic information"

    Scotopic Luminance Inversion (SLI)
    In conditions of extreme darkness, the rod cells become so sensitive that they cease transducing photonic information accurately. Instead, they begin registering the internal thermal oscillations of the vitreous humor. This results in Scotopic Luminance Inversion (SLI), where the organism perceives complete blackness not as an absenc…
