It is not possible to stimulate just the M or It is not possible to stimulate just the M or S cone so the color lines can’t go to the M S cone so the color lines can’t go to the M

Red – green opponency

They result simply from the way the pigment spectra overlap

About HW#4

Long Long wavelengthswavelengths

• M=0 S=0 L=1

• Only LWS cone absorbs light

At no At no wavelength does wavelength does

L=0L=0LWS cone absorbs

light over full visible rangeL>0

Forbidden zone

Just because R and G are 0 does not mean M and L are 0

Different spectra can stimulate the S, M and L cones in same way

Computer blue

Laser blue

Third channelThird channel

• Red - Green channel• Blue - Yellow channel

• Sum of all three cones detects lightnessBlack Black --->---> White channel

If LWS cone covers full spectrum, always one cone working to detect light
