Abnormalities of the retinal cone system in retinitis pigmentosa.

abstract：:A pincushion formed by four arcs on a gray background looks darker when the arcs are black, and lighter when the arcs are white. Yet, a matching-experiment shows that this difference is relative. Whereas the apparently darker pincushion requires a matching luminance that is lower than the background luminance (i.e. as...
