I sometimes can shape my dreams and force content into them. Tonight I will float along the Vivonne River by the Guermantes way. I visualize it now. My tranquil life seems like an afterlife or a dream— unreal. My friends who try this mental exercise come to believe that life can be repeated, refined, and relived with slight alterations and sadness avoided. All this lovely play of form and light and color on the Vivonne River and in the eyes of humans is no more than that a playing of illusions in spacetime.

By creating scales for hue, lightness, and chroma, we can now measure color numerically. Other methods for expressing color numerically were developed by the Commission Internationale de l Eclairage (CIE), an international organization concerned with light and color. The two most widely known of these methods are the Yxy color space, devised based on tristimulus values XYZ defined by CIE, and...

As we have seen, the visual system responds to changes in light and color within a few milliseconds, quickly enough that we are able to perceive continuous motion at nearly 1000 frames per second. To achieve a rapid response, the signal must also be terminated rapidly and the system must be returned to its initial state. First, activated rhodopsin must be blocked from continuing to activate transducin. Rhodopsin kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of the carboxyl terminus of R at multiple serine and threonine residues. Arrestin, an inhibitory protein (Section 15.1.4), then binds phosphorylated R and prevents additional interaction with transducin.
