Our understanding of human color vision has advanced tremendously
in recent years, helped along by many new discoveries, ideas, and
achievements. It is therefore timely that these new developments
are brought together in a book, assembled specifically to include
new research and insight from the leaders in the field. Although
intentionally not exhaustive, many aspects of color vision are
discussed in this Springer Series in Vision Research book
including: the genetics of the photopigments; the anatomy and
physiology of photoreceptors, retinal and cortical pathways;
color perception; the effects of disorders; theories on neuronal
processes and the evolution of human color vision. Several of the
chapters describe new, state-of-the-art methods within genetics,
morphology, imaging techniques, electrophysiology, psychophysics,
and computational neuroscience. The book gives a comprehensive
overview of the different disciplines in human color vision in a
way that makes it accessible to specialists and non-specialist
scientists alike.

About the Series:
The Springer Series in Vision Research is a comprehensive update
and overview of cutting edge vision research, exploring, in
depth, current breakthroughs at a conceptual level. It details
the whole visual system, from molecular processes to anatomy,
physiology and behavior and covers both invertebrate and
vertebrate organisms from terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Each
book in the Series is aimed at all individuals with interests in
vision including advanced graduate students, post-doctoral
researchers, established vision scientists and clinical
investigators. The series editors are N. Justin Marshall,
Queensland Brain Institute, The University of Queensland,
Australia and Shaun P. Collin, Neuroecology Group within the
School of Animal Biology and the Oceans Institute at the
University of Western Australia.
