Visual Physiology and Perception Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores color vision diversity and the subjective experience of color through the brain and genes.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the meaning of color experience through differences in how colors look
Prof. Hiramatsu's lab studies color vision diversity.
The lab views color vision diversity as the result of interaction between genes and the environment.
It investigates the neural mechanisms in the brain that create the subjective experience of color, which is difficult to share with other people.
Through this work, the lab aims to understand the meaning of color experience.
Key terms
- Color vision diversity
- Differences in how colors look and feel, arising as a result of the interaction between genes and the environment
- Subjective experience
- An experience as felt by the person themselves. Color experience is difficult to share with others
- Neural representation
- How information such as color is represented as patterns of neural activity in the brain
ResearchResearch themes
The lab views color vision diversity as the result of interaction between genes and the environment, and explores the neural representation of color in the brain. It investigates the mechanisms that create the subjective experience of color, aiming to understand the meaning of color experience.
