Chromatic rod–cone interaction during dark adaptation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Chromatic rod–cone interaction in mesopic vision was investigated by measuring chromaticity coordinates of spectral lights 3 deg extrafoveally during long-term dark adaptation, under conditions where the eye was chromatically adapted. It was concluded that (a) the chromaticity shift obtained between the cone-plateau period and the dark-adapted state is due, at least under some conditions, to rod signals elicited by the test stimulus, (b) the chromaticity points of cone-mediated colors may change in different directions in the chromaticity diagram as an effect of the rod intrusion, (c) cone–cone and rod–cone color-mixture processing may, at least under some conditions, be different, and (d) chroma-related processes of rods and cones tend to suppress each other, with rods dominating at low and cones at high mesopic intensities.
