Cognitive process that begins with our thoughts and descend to other functions (senses) On a printed page viewed under standard office level illumination (500 lux) the luminance of the white paper was measured to be 80 cd/m2 luminance of the black ink was measured to be 5 cd/m2. The page was then taken outside on a sunny day where the illumination level was 10,000 lux. The luminance of the white paper was measured to be 1600 cd/m2 outside. Calculate the luminance of the black ink under the same lighting conditions. What is it and how does the brain resolve it? whereas the. 500lux -- white 80cd/m2, black 5cd/m2 10000lux -- white 1600cd/m2, black 100cd/m2.
