Research on this aspect of vision dates back to the 17th century and the work of Newton, and is still ongoing today. This book describes the origin and development of this fundamental theory within vision research - whilst also examining the Young-Helmholtz trichromatic colour theory, and the opponent colour theory of Hering - and presents evidence and ideas in light of modern conceptions of the theory. Written for academic researchers and graduate students, the book brings back knowledge of the tradition of duplicity theory, inspiring questions related to anatomy, comparative biology, molecular biology, photochemistry, physiology, genetics, phylogenetics and psychophysics. 606 $aVisual pathways 606 $aEye$xAdaptation 606 $aVision$xResearch$xHistory 615 0$aVisual pathways. 615 0$aEye$xAdaptation. 615 0$aVision$xResearch$xHistory. 676 $a612.8/4 702 $aStabell$b Bjørn 702 $aStabell$b Ulf 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454775403321 996 $aDuplicity theory of vision$92467030 997 $aUNINA
