Document Summary
Visual spectrum is just a part of a continuum electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum visual stimulus that humans can see; we can only see this small narrow range. Bias: limits of visual detection shape your view of the world. Bias: colour around you are just in your head. One frog blends in with it"s environment camouflage; hide from predators. One frog tries to look conspicuous, very colorful and can help scare away predators frog secretes a poison that can kill or make predator very sick and therefore the predator will be unlikely to attach this frog. These animals have better colour system and are better able to hunt for food. Unique combined receptor activity produces distinct colour perception. Because the colours are curved, they can respond to some other colour stimuli. Different cone types required to generate contrast at least 2. Trichromat would have a richer experience than a dichromat.
