Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 9 page research paper that offers a literature review that summarizes six research studies having to do with color perception. The author offers a brief synopsis of each study, relating the basic parameters of the study to the topic of research that addresses the underlying physiological mechanisms in the brain that pertain to color perception. From these studies, the author concludes that color perception plays a dynamic role in helping individuals discriminate among the tremendous stream of visual sensory data as to what objects in a visual perception field warrant attention. An abstract of the paper is included. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

of each study, relating the basic parameters of the study to the topic of research that addresses the underlying physiological mechanisms in the brain that pertain to color perception. From
these studies, the author concludes that color perception plays a dynamic role in helping individuals discriminate among the tremendous stream of visual sensory data as to what objects in a
visual perception field warrant attention. Introduction The perception of color is a fascinating sensory phenomenon. We know that color perception occurs in the brain, but precisely how this
perception takes place-how the sensory data is processed and applied to memory-is still a matter of investigation by research scientists. The following examination of current research in regards to
underlying physiological mechanisms in regards to color perception demonstrates how such studies are expanding the boundaries of what is known on this topic and further sciences understanding of how human
beings perceive and remember color. Literature Review Lehky (2000) performed a study that directly addresses the physiological mechanisms involved in color perception. When visual objects are perceived, it
involves their characteristics of color, shape and motion, which Lehky (2000) reports can be processed over several different cortical areas. If there are several objects in the visual field, this
brings up the question of how the correct conjunction of features is connected in the brain to each object, without having any "crosstalk" between features belonging to these objects (Lehky,
2000). Errors in feature binding can be created under experimental conditions. For example, if a green X and a red T are flashed simultaneously on a screen, the subject
may report seeing a green T. This sort of error is referred to as an "illusory conjunction" (Lehky, 2000). In this study, Lehky examined the effect of isoluminant stimuli on
