Human Visual Cortex Holds Neurons that Selectively Respond to Intermediate Colors

Caption

Hue selectivity results: (left) example hue selective voxels, indicated by most selective color in each voxel. (right) Average histogram of hue selective voxels in primary visual cortex (V1: one of the four areas measured in this study) as polar histogram in relative population (%). Four dotted lines indicate unique hues (pure red, blue, green and yellow).
