Simulation of the color vision: decoding quantum-electric transduction
We propose an experimental simulation, using accessible and low cost materials, on the biophysical mechanism of the color vision in accordance with the Young-Helmholtz s Trichromatic Theory, approaching mainly the coding and decoding process of electric signs that arrive to the cerebral cortex....

| Summary: | We propose an experimental simulation, using accessible and low
cost materials, on the biophysical mechanism of the color vision in
accordance with the Young-Helmholtz s Trichromatic Theory,
approaching mainly the coding and decoding process of electric
signs that arrive to the cerebral cortex. The stimulus that unchains
this process is given through transformation of the quantized
energy of a light photon that takes place in the photocells of the
retina of the human eye. The construction of a simple system of
collection and analysis of data, using a multimeter, filters, LDR
and LEDs allows us to establish connections between the visual
system and the simulation model. |
