A New Study About Color Tries to Decode ‘The Brain’s Pantone’ – WIRED
How do humans perceive color? An NIH experiment finds a way to measure what happens after light hits the eye—using brain scans.
At first, Conway was pretty skeptical that he would get any results. The word on the street is that MEG has very crappy spatial resolution, he says. Essentially, the machine is good at detecting when theres brain activity, but not so great at showing you where in the brain that activity is. But as it turned out, the patterns were there and they were easy for the decoder to spot. Lo and behold, the pattern is different enough for the different colors that I can decode with upwards of 90 percent accuracy…
