Color Binding in the Brain

Steven Shevell, Professor of Psychology, Ophthalmology, Visual Science, discusses new research about how our brains process information about the color of objects. The research shows that the brain processes the shape of an object and its color in two separate pathways and, though the objects shape and color normally are linked, the neural representation of the color can survive alone.

so colorblind person does't mean you will perceive a distorted object? Brain is a complex group of cell full of complex understanding and need complex research!

@SuperTortoisedude I see what you did there ;)

What is a color?

I did a science project on this concept, binocular rivarly. I think it's so cool! Because if you really think about it, both your eyes are seeing something different all the time. Does that constitute binocular rivarly?
