Interactive Model

The fuzzy decoder model of color vision shows how photoreceptors and neurons can be connected to process color information. The model explains the major phenomina of color vision, including familiar color experiences like color mixing and color space. Apparently there is no other model that shows how neurons can be conneceted to produce any known color phenomenon.

The animated, interactive model below is an Adobe Flash file that shows how the fuzzy decoder model works. Adobe and the major browsers stopped supporting Flash Player at the end of 2020. The model runs here on Ruffle, a popular Flash Player emulator. It uses your computer to execute the file, but it is very safe. 

The interactive model is best viewed in full screen on a computer monitor. Right click on it and select Enter Full Screen. To exit, right click and select Exit Full Screen. If this doesn't work, search your browser for how to enter full screen for your computer's operating system. 

Click on anything in the model and see what happens. See YouTube videos here or in Color Vision > YouTube Videos to see examples of what can be done with the model.
