  • Cognitive psychology: Chris Benton
    • Colour vision
      • Why has colour vision evolved in some mammals?
        • To detect food from background
      • Theories of colour vision
        • Trichromatic theory (Young-Helmholtz)
          • Depends on 3 receptor mechanisms
            • Fails to account for colour aftereffects
              • Or colour blindness
                • Or many other subjective observations
        • Colour-opponent theory (Hering)
          • Two types of colour-sensitive unit and one monochrome unit
            • Why bother with opponency?
        • Both are correct
          • Different stages of retinal processing
      • Cortical areas specialised for colour
        • V4/V8
        • Blobs in V1
      • What does colour constancy tell us?
        • Must be some scene analysis (context)
    • Lightness and brightness
      • Theories of brightness
        • Low-level
          • Things like edge detection
        • Mid-level
          • Grouping rules
        • High-level
          • Scene interpretation
    • Object perception
      • Perceptual organisation
      • Viewpoint-independent theories
        • Biederman
        • Marr
      • Viewpoint-dependent theories
        • Morphing
        • Which is right?
          • Train at viewpoints
          • Two roads to object recognition
    • Face perception
      • Are faces special?
        • Fusiform gyrus
      • What information do we use?
        • Holistic versus featural
      • Face space
      • Prototype vs. norm coding
      • Adaptation
