Abstract

It is widely assumed that the near-perfect additivity of heterochromatic flicker photometry implies the existence of an achromatic channel in the visual system, which accurately sums R- and G-cone signals. For flicker photometry to be additive, the channel that detects the flicker stimulus need not add cone signals.
