SUNY at Binghamton Color Sensation and Perception Paper
Description
Isaac Newton wrote in his book Opticks in 1704 on light:
“For the rays so to speak are not coloured. In them there is nothing else than a certain power and disposition to stir up a sensation of this or that Colour.”
According to science, colors do not exist in objects themselves but in our minds; our brains construct color. If all sentient creatures disappeared, so too would color.
After you have watched this week’s lecture in which I discuss this and show some demonstrations of it and after you have interacted with the demonstration in the Interactive Sensation Laboratory (Color Perception > ISLE 6.7. Color Aftereffect > ISLE 6.7(a) Color Aftereffect Using Photographs, discuss the following questions:
1. Describe what you experienced in the demonstration on ISLE. What is your response to these demonstrations that color does not exist in the external world but is created by your brain/mind in response to incoming electromagnetic radiation (which in itself is not colored)?
