Color perception is the study of how the human brain interprets and responds to different wavelengths of light as colors. This field of research explores how the eyes and brain work together to detect and process color information, as well as how factors such as lighting conditions, individual differences, and cultural influences can impact our perception of color. Researchers in this area use a variety of methods, including psychophysics, brain imaging, and behavioral experiments, to better understand how color perception works and how it influences our daily lives.
