Venue: ICVS 2019, Latvia Paper:Multiplicative modulations in hue-selective cells enhance unique hue representation Abstract: Which region in the brain represents unique hues is a matter of debate among color vision researchers [1, 2]. Here, we introduce a hierarchical model inspired by neural mechanisms in the visual system for local hue representation and with computational simulations […]
