The color of the plate food is served on influences taste perception, a new study reports.
Color perception can be affected by cultural influences, learning experiences, and our mother tongue.
The color red is not particularly strong in terms of the strength of gamma oscillations it generates in the brain.
The evolution of red color vision in a species of butterfly is linked to coordinating rhodopsin tuning.
Novel technology allows researchers to understand how a fruit fly's brain processes color.
People are oblivious to change when color is removed from peripheral vision. Research reports the brain likely fills in for much of our perceptual experience when it comes to seeing the entire picture in color.
Visual neurons selectively respond to color and shape along a continuum. While some neurons are only activated by either a specific color or shape, others are responsive to color and shape simultaneously. The findings contradict previous beliefs about how visual processing works.

While only 1 in 25 people has synesthesia, a new study reports intuitions about 'sound colors' are shared by a greater percentage of people. Sound color perception is mainly driven by the vowels in language.
Researchers suggest blind and sighted people experience visual phenomena differently, but share a common understanding of them.
Researchers reveal our cultural experiences and language we speak may impact how we perceive colors.
According to researchers, the 'fill in' effect makes only a small contribution to how we perceive colors in an image. The study also provides new evidence that color processing cells play a vital role in color perception.
Researchers reveal people are able to correctly identify, with 75% accuracy, expressions of emotion in others based on subtle changes in color around the nose, eyebrows and chin.
