According to the pigment theory of matching, metameric matches result from the equation of the rates of photoisomerizations for each of the three classes of cone pigments excited by the two matched fields. If true, matches are radiance-invariant and additive. Tests of the theory in this paper show small but ubiquitous failures in radiance-invariance due to systematic rather than random errors in matching. A choice between two possible explanations for these systematic errors favors the view that in subjects who deliberately or intuitively search for the middle of the matching range, the errors are due to an asymmetry in the Weber fraction for color (Trezona) at low (but not high) levels of retinal illuminance.

Evaluating predictions of the patterning cascade model of crown morphogenesis in the human lower mixed and permanent dentition.
PLoS One

Department of Anthropology, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas, United States of America.
Objective: The patterning cascade model of crown morphogenesis has been studied extensively in a variety of organisms to elucidate the evolutionary history surrounding postcanine tooth form. The current research is the first to use a large modern human sample to examine whether the crown configuration of lower deciduous and permanent molars aligns with expectations derived from the model. This study has two main goals: 1) to determine if metameric and antimeric pairs significantly differ in size, accessory trait expression, and relative intercusp spacing, and 2) assess whether the relative distance among early-forming cusps accounts for observed variation in accessory cusp expression.

Article Synopsis
- Computational spectrometry combines photodetection with numerical algorithms for advanced spectroscopic measurements, utilizing compact layered photodetectors that replace traditional bulky equipment.
- A neural network is trained to decode the complex nonlinear response from a specific GeSe-InSe p-n heterojunction photodetector, which operates over a spectral range of 400 to 1100 nm and is very small in size.
- The research also addresses the issue of metamerism, where different light sources appear the same color, by effectively using the photodetector's capabilities in optical imaging.
Neural Correlates of Crowding in Macaque Area V4.

Visual crowding refers to the phenomenon where a target object that is easily identifiable in isolation becomes difficult to recognize when surrounded by other stimuli (distractors). Many psychophysical studies have investigated this phenomenon and proposed alternative models for the underlying mechanisms. One prominent hypothesis, albeit with mixed psychophysical support, posits that crowding arises from the loss of information due to pooled encoding of features from target and distractor stimuli in the early stages of cortical visual processing.

The pupil modulates the amount of light that reaches the retina. Not only luminance but also the spectral distribution defines the pupil size. Previous research has identified steady-state pupil size and melatonin attenuation to be predominantly driven by melanopsin, which is expressed by a unique subgroup of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) that are sensitive to short-wavelength light (~480 nm).

Opt Express
November 2023
The color matching possibilities between (reference) phosphor-converted LEDs (pc-LEDs) and replacement metameric LEDs made by color mixing technology (cm-LEDs) were evaluated in the classical 20th century CIE 1976 color space developed for perpendicular viewing (based on a 2° colorimetric observer) and in the latest CIE 2015 cone fundamental color space developed for wide field of view observers (10° colorimetric observer). For each given pc-LED 10 different sets of cm-LEDs were designed and evaluated for color consistency in 2°and 10° color spaces. There were 10 different B-color LEDs considered along with constant RGA LEDs.
