Abstract

For some years, we have been engaged in studying the processing and encoding of information in the primate visual system, by examining the activity of single lateral geniculate cells. We have been particularly interested in the manner in which wavelength information is processed to result (in the primate) in color vision: the ability to discriminate the wavelengths of objects independent of their relative intensities.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a preprint, done in animal, not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
