The test for color vision extends to some people Colorblind
Some forms of colorblindness may actually afford enhanced perception of some colors depending on the results, reported this week in the journal Current Biology by John Mollon and colleagues at the University of Cambridge. The most common form of colorblindness is a form of X chromosome-linked color vision is technically known as deuteranomaly. The colors are defined by the people through the combined effect of three different types of cones are called, each of which detects optimally activated by different wavelengths of light.These feelings have changed deuteranomalous colorblind, because they possess a variant of the pin - the sensitivity of the cones of half a wavelength moves the wavelength cones, resulting in a decreased ability to distinguish between certain colors, ranging
slightly different from people with normal color vision. In theory it is possible that sensitive due to the changed sensitivity of the cone photoreceptors, people are able to deuteranomalous color differences are not obvious to people with normal vision.In the new work, researchers tested the idea of ​​having to notify people of color deuteranomalous and normal, if they are in a position between pairs of colors that have been predicted theoretically deuteranomalous colorblind look different, people, but same as those that color vision was normal seem to differ. In fact, the researchers found that some colors that were seen in pairs, to different individuals deuteranomalous. The conclusion suggests that while these people can be blind to certain colors available color
normal individuals were also sensitive to the dimension of color inaccessible to people with normal vision.In their paper, the researchers observed that the color or [f] normal experimenter, it is surprising for someone who is deuteranamolous big difference apparently identical stimuli to see, and without hesitation.The researchers note that because color blindness is caused by genetic disorders deuteranamolous
