Abstract
This discussion deals mainly with the spectral sensitivities of the color-vision mechanisms of the fovea arrived at by increment-threshold measurements made under steady-state conditions. By this method are studied, to a limited extent, the summation properties of different color mechanisms, the way the mechanisms are modified in moving out from the fovea, and their behavior when the conditioning stimulus is suddenly changed.Keywords
