Research Abstract |
We have perceived some difference between an object color that previously rememberedand a color perceived when you are looking at the exact same object. Our aim of this studyis to understand this internal shift of the color perception. Because it has been consideredthat such internal shift of the color perception is due to the categorization of color in theperception, we investigated the internal coding processes for the categorization through theprocesses of color memorization in the psychophysics and by a method of brain imaginganalysis.We found that normal color visions formed color categories exclusively and their borderswere not ambiguous, but that color deficiencies categorized colors with ambiguous borders.There was no significant cortical activity specified the color categorization under different stimulus conditions for both subjects.These indicate that the internal operations of the color sensations per se may occur beforethe coding process. It is however quite difficult to measure its cortical activity.
