Blue / Yellow Bipolar Cell Green / Red Bipolar Cell + − + − +−−+ −/+ Opponent – Process Theory Blue Green Red Yellow
+ - On center off surround Center-Surround Cells G + - Mild excitation Mild inhibition Maximal excitation Maximal inhibition Minimal effect
Darker Lighter Mach Bands & The Hermann Grid
+ - A + - B + - C + - D B is more inhibited than A and will appear darker C is less inhibited than D and will appear lighter Explaining Mach Bands
Small foveal receptive fields Large peripheral receptive fields More light falls on inhibitory surround which leads to seeing a dark spot Explaining The Hermann Grid
