Digital vision theory: Boolean logic model

Abstract

Guild (1932) stated the general requirements for processing signals in color vision system and a digital format of his paradigm is developed in this paper. The disk structure generates the digital receptor pulse. The input modalities form sets, linked by intersections, joins, and complement junctions. The synapses are elements in these junctions. Complex synapses form complex junctions to create Boolean logic processing. A computer program using these Boolean logic functions calculates: Light and dark adaptation responses; Color matching and spectral coordinate functions; Chromatic adaptation and color shift responses; and dynamic neural responses. These calculations compare favorably with the experimental data.
