Afterimages from unseen stimuli

Observers adapted to a field of randomly coloured twinkling tiles, in which was embedded a faint, subthreshold green letter. Observers failed to discern this letter, but they readily reported its pink afterimage afterwards. This demonstrates a storage of changing colours over time; adaptation occurs...

description Observers adapted to a field of randomly coloured twinkling tiles, in which was embedded a faint, subthreshold green letter. Observers failed to discern this letter, but they readily reported its pink afterimage afterwards. This demonstrates a storage of changing colours over time; adaptation occurs for the average of each retinal point.
