Red-Green Cone Interactions in the Increment-Threshold Spectral Sensitivity of Primates
Abstract
Threshold spectral sensitivity of primate eyes is the upper envelope of the sensitivity of three response channels. Sensitivity in the green and red channels is modeled as linear difference functions reflecting neural interaction between cones containing photopigments with 535- and 575-nanometer peaks. Sensitivity in the blue channel seems determined by a single class of cones containing a 445-nanometer photopigment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
