“…Finally, we emphasize that the mechanism we offer departs from previous combinatorial color models that predict hue sensation at the final stage of processing (De Valois & De Valois, 1993;Mehrani et al, 2020), as well as neural field models that conflate cone-and coloropponency in their interpretations (Faugeras, Song, & Veltz, 2022;Smirnova, Chizhkova, & Chizhov, 2015;Song, Faugeras, & Veltz, 2019). The emergent hue tuning curves we have characterized are a network property reflective of the physiological neuronal responses, and should not be confounded with our perception of hue.…”
