Neural modelling of the McCollough Effect in color vision

The present work investigates the neural mechanisms underlying the McCollough Effect through the simulation of three different models of color visual systems: a dichromatic and a trichromatic one that are inspired to the anatomy of the primates’ visual system and an idealised trichromatic model designed to aid the self-organization of a simulated Primary Visual Cortex to a physiologically-plausible level. The McCollough Effect allows for a direct investigation of cortical plasticity and homeostatic adaptation, and can provide a reference for works in the cortical modelling of color perception. Within this dissertation we compare our results to previous psychological data on humans and to the relevant work in modelling the effect, effectively reproducing its the main properties.
