Entrainment to the CIECAM02 and CIELAB colour appearance models in the human cortex

Abstract

In human visual processing, information from the visual field passes through numerous transformations before perceptual attributes such as colour are derived. The sequence of transforms involved in constructing perceptions of colour can be approximated by colour appearance models such as the CIE (2002) colour appearance model, abbreviated as CIECAM02. In this study, we test the plausibility of CIECAM02 as a model of colour processing by looking for evidence of its cortical entrainment. The CIECAM02 model predicts that colour is split in to two opposing chromatic components, red-green and cyan-yellow (termed CIECAM02-a and CIECAM02-b respectively), and an achromatic component (termed CIECAM02-A). Entrainment of cortical activity to the outputs of these components was estimated using measurements of electro- and magnetoencephalographic (EMEG) activity, recorded while healthy subjects watched videos of dots changing colour. We find entrainment to chromatic component CIECAM02-a at approximately 35 ms latency bilaterally in occipital lobe regions, and entrainment to achromatic component CIECAM02-A at approximately 75 ms latency, also bilaterally in occipital regions. For comparison, transforms from a less physiologically plausible model (CIELAB) were also tested, with no significant entrainment found.

Rapidly and exactly determining postharvest dry soybean seed quality based on machine vision technology

“…It can preserve the broad gamut of the color features of soybean seed image. All of the color which can be perceived by human eyes can be discovered in the L*a*b* color model 25 . The distribution of color features in the L*a*b* color space is more uniform than the RGB (see the light part in Fig.…”

“…L*a*b* is a color space specified by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) 25 , where L* is for the lightness and a* and b* are for the green–red and blue-yellow color components, respectively. The L*a*b* color space not only contains all the gamut of RGB color space but also expresses a part of color space that the RGB can not do.…”

40 Hz invisible spectral flicker and its potential use in Alzheimer's light therapy treatment

“…However, this diagram only involves scaling factors compared to CIE 1931, and a pair of chromaticity points with the same coordinates in the CIE 1931 diagram will also have the same coordinates in the CIE 1960 diagram. We are also aware that the CIECAM02 model has been shown in the literature to be a more decent model of activity in the primary visual cortex, when compared to former CIE color models such as the CIE 1931, CIE 1960 and CIELAB 38 . However, for the purpose of merely demonstrating the technology, and for eye matching; the CIE 1931 model was practically working if one made sure to match in luminance continuously while moving around the chromaticity diagram.…”

Mathematical Representation of Color Spaces and Its Role in Communication Systems

“…It reflects the three elements of the values that specifies the hue: L * for lighting from black (zero) to white (100), * from green (-) to red (+), and b * from blue (-) to yellow (+). It is designed to be compatible with "CIELAB" the same amount of change in these numerical values with almost the same amount of change seen visually [8]. The general mathematical equations that determine the relationship between the elements of this system are as follows:…”

“…The adjustment degree (D) can be set to zero for nonadjustment (self-lighting incentive) and the unit for full adjustment (color fastness). In practice, in values ranging from 0.65 to 1.0, the values listed can be calculated by the equation below [8]:…”
