Humans rely on sight, which is primarily mediated by three color-sensing cone types, to perceive the world in a kaleidoscope of hues. Blue cones develop earliest, followed by the morphologically ...

Scientists conducting targeted retinal stimulation claim to have discovered a new color. In a study published in Science Advances on April 18, a group of five researchers stimulated retina cells in ...

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley have developed a technology that can directly stimulate individual photoreceptor cells in the human retina, allowing people to perceive colors that ...

The human eye can see millions of colors — but no eyes have ever before beheld "olo." Only five people on the planet have witnessed this brand new color, thanks to the efforts of a team of researchers ...

There are millions of them in our eye’s retina—special photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones that allow us to perceive a wide range of light intensities and colors. "There is a critical need to ...

For decades, treatments for macular degeneration have focused on slowing, not restoring vision loss. A new retinal implant is flipping that script, turning patients with geographic atrophy into ...

Scientists have revived light-sensing neuron cells in organ donor eyes and restored communication between them as part of a series of discoveries that stand to transform brain and vision research.

Color is more than a sensory pleasure; it is a tool refined by evolution. Our ability to perceive a broad spectrum of hues is a remarkable biological achievement shaped by survival pressures, social ...

The new color, "olo," is a hyper-saturated version of blue-green Getty Scientists conducting targeted retinal stimulation claim to have discovered a new color. In a study published in Science Advances ...
