Well, I would say yes. But, you know, we're not looking at this in an IMAX theater. Yeah. Our display is the size of an icon on your cell phone, or it's the size of your fingernail held at arm's length.

So humans have three types of cone photoreceptor, and they're sensitive to the long, middle, and short wavelengths of the visible light spectrum. So they're called L, M, and S. And with these three types of sensor, we can send information to the brain that will inform the brain about color.

So it's the brain that looks at the subtle differences in the excitation of those three cone types to generate a percept of the color. So with just a mere three cone types, humans are able to differentiate arguably up to 10 million different hues in the visual world. And that's really through the extensive processing that the brain does. It's a very important part of the process.

Yeah, there are a number of parts. First of all, in order to be able to... consider even targeting only the M cones. You have to have a map of the cone mosaic of the three types of cones.

So every subject in the study had to travel to the University of Washington to our collaborator's lab where he has a device to image the retina and with a special type of imaging called optical coherence tomography, he was able to label the cone types as being L, M, or S.

That's right. So then when we go to the lab, in the lab here, there's a few steps. One is you need to dilate your pupil. And then we bite into a bite plate called a bite bar, which gets locked into the device. So your head is held perfectly rigid. And then somebody else will align you in X, Y, and Z to get your pupil aligned with the output aperture of the system.
