This paper compares the spectral response curves of cells in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) with the reflectance spectra of a large sample of Munsell color chips. By examining the color chips with methods used by neural response researchers and the LGN cells with methods used by psychophysical color researchers, we obtain insights that may be useful for advancing knowledge in both fields. For LGN cells, the prevailing view is that they tend to be clustered into distinct types or along disc ...[more]
