Abstract

type:01 紀要論文 / Departmental Bulletin Paper

It remains a mystery why colors emerge from the black-and-white pattern of a Benham’s top. This article is an extension of one I published in 1979. Here I discuss in greater depth the reasons for manifestations of subjective color, with a focus on my own hypothesis, namely, that two successive stimuli are shifted in phase as they pass through the human visual system, causing dynamic interference that results in the emergence of a specific color. I hope this hypothesis will significantly contribute to the nearly 200-year history of attempts to elucidate subjective color.
