Colour centre in humans as an area specialized for colour vision. V2, also called the prestriate cortex, is believed to have a small role in colour processing by projecting signals from V1 to the V4-complex. Whether or not colour selective cells are present in V2 is still being investigated. Some optical imaging studies have found small clusters of red-green colour selective cells in V1 and V2, but not any blue-yellow colour selective cells. Other studies have shown that V2 is activated by colour stimuli, but not colour after images.[8] V4 also has feedback on V2, suggesting that there is a defined network
George Palmer (colour theorist) is moved by its own ray." This statement has proved true in regard to the number of different light sensor types, the cones, in the human eye, if not in regard to the claim of three kinds of light. Twenty-five years later a similar statement was made by the eminent physicist Thomas Young. Voigt, in his report on Giros von Gentilly, describes him as having stated that colour blindness arises if one or two of the three kinds of "particles" (light sensors) in the retina are inactive, a statement found to be accurate. In 1786 Palmer provided a hypothesis for
