The spatial tuning of macaque lateral geniculate neurones was compared for luminance-based and color-based lines. Lines of various widths were flashed on and centered on the cell's receptive field, and the size of the increase or decrease in firing was noted. Luminance-based lines consisted of 0.7 log unit increments or decrements. Color-based lines consisted of shifts in wavelength with no change in luminance, e.g., from a red field to a green line on a red field. The cell fired most to intermediate widths of luminance-based lines, but to the widest pure-color lines.
比较了基于亮度和基于颜色的线条对猕猴外侧膝状体神经元的空间调谐。各种宽度的线条在细胞感受野上闪烁并居中，记录放电增加或减少的大小。基于亮度的线条由0.7对数单位的增量或减量组成。基于颜色的线条由波长变化但亮度不变组成，例如，从红色背景到红色背景上的绿色线条。细胞对基于亮度的线条的中间宽度放电最多，但对最宽的纯色线条放电最多。
