Figure 1 with 1 supplement
Change detection task in an immersive visual stimulation environment capable of delivering short- and middle-wavelength band stimulation.

(A) The visual stimulation environment, with the positions and size of stimuli shown; the colored edges were not a part of the presented stimulus, but indicate the color scheme used to denote …

Figure 1—figure supplement 1
Eye position during performance of the change detection task at four elevations.

(A) Schematic depicting the geometry of the eye tracking and immersive display system. The mouse was centered in the display sphere to aid in estimation of gaze in visuotopic coordinates. Infrared …

Figure 2 with 1 supplement
Short and middle wavelength band specific contrast sensitivity.

(A) Performance of luminance contrast change detection at three elevations (green lines: −10°, light blue lines: 10°, dark blue lines: 30°). For each elevation, a fit with hyperbolic ratio function …

Figure 3 with 1 supplement
Relative short and middle-wavelength band weights and color discrimination across elevation.

(A) Schematic representation of two possible relative short and middle band weight scenarios, including some putative color contrast sensitivity. The left scenario shows equal weight of short and …

Figure 3—figure supplement 1
Estimating short and middle cone weights in the coordinates of our behavioral apparatus from retinal expression and functional data.

(A) To generate predictions of the relative weights of each wavelength band at each elevation tested in our paradigm, we projected retinal spatial distributions of both opsin expression and …
