AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the experience of color through diversity in color vision
Professor Chihiro Hiramatsu, who specializes in visual physiology and perception, studies diversity in color vision.
Regarding diversity as an essential characteristic of humans as living beings, the lab views diversity in color vision as the result of interaction between genes and the environment.
It investigates the neural mechanisms that give rise to the subjective experience of color, which is difficult to share with others, and aims to understand the meaning of color experience.
Key terms
- Diversity in color vision
- The fact that how colors look differs from person to person, as a result of the interaction between genes and the environment
- Subjective experience
- An experience felt only by the individual, which is difficult to share with others
- Neural mechanisms
- The workings of the brain and nerves that give rise to the experience of color
