Exploring afterimage appearance with the natural color system
A color afterimage is the perceived hue in the visual field when viewing a blank background after an inducing or adapting chromatic stimulus has been presented in that area for a certain duration. Color afterimage experiences are triggered by physical stimuli but persist even without such stimuli. It is a private perceptual experience, yet it remains a significant focus of scientific investigations. Research on color afterimages usually focuses on the appearance of these afterimages, and various methods for measuring their appearance have been developed. The present study employs direct appearance matching and an intuitive color appearance system to explore afterimage appearances effectively. The authors adopted the Natural Color System (NCS) as the reference system for measuring and representing the color appearance of afterimages. The inducing stimuli consisted of selected color patches with various hues and nuances (blackness and chromaticness) according to the NCS notations, while the induced afterimage hues were determined by matching the perceived afterimages to a color circle comprised of 40 patches. These 40 patches were chosen from the standard 40 NCS hues, all with the same nuance value in the initial phase. After establishing the hue for a given induced patch, a second-stage matching task utilized a set of patches with reduced chromaticness to achieve a nuance match. The collected data were used to construct a color afterimage map in the NCS color space, providing empirical guidelines about color afterimages and their inducing colors within a well-constructed color space.
期刊介绍:
Vision Research is a journal devoted to the functional aspects of human, vertebrate and invertebrate vision and publishes experimental and observational studies, reviews, and theoretical and computational analyses. Vision Research also publishes clinical studies relevant to normal visual function and basic research relevant to visual dysfunction or its clinical investigation. Functional aspects of vision is interpreted broadly, ranging from molecular and cellular function to perception and behavior. Detailed descriptions are encouraged but enough introductory background should be included for non-specialists. Theoretical and computational papers should give a sense of order to the facts or point to new verifiable observations. Papers dealing with questions in the history of vision science should stress the development of ideas in the field.
