A specific deficit in the perception of colors due to cortical lesions in the fusiform gyrus. Action Potential

A hypothesis according to which underlying every direct percept---seeing red, smelling wet moss, the feeling of initiating an action--there will be one or more groups of neurons that explicitly represent the different attributes of this percept (see explicit coding

Prolonged exposure to a stimulus attribute causes a short lived deficit in the ability to detect that attribute (as in the orientation-dependent aftereffect). In some cases, the opposite attribute is seen, as in the motion aftereffect where the observer sees upward motion after being habituated to downward motion (also known as the waterfall illusi [..]
