A Possible Physical Explanation For Hering’s Opponent Theory
Tuesday, November 18th, 2003I have proposed that the retina of the eye is narrowly tuned to only three wavelengths and that these correspond to what have historically been termed the “primary colors”. Importantly, in my explanation, both ends and the exact middle of the visible band. are precisely and geometrically defined. The fixed geoemetrically-defined midband point forms the basis for the color constancy of vision. These three wavelengths - defined historically and incorrectly as “RGB” - then are the basis for the trichromicity of vision. The sensation of the hues of “Color” comes later! [… More»]

Summary Of The Invention And Discussion Of Potential Applications
I have attempted to describe the interaction as succinctly as possible encoding the “engineering rules” for varying optical wavelength. In physics terms this means varying cavity dimensions adjacent to quantum confined electron sites. A summary of the invention and discussion of possible applications. [… More»]
