Definitions:

Young-Helmholtz Theory

A theory of color vision that proposes the presence of three types of color receptors in the eye, each sensitive to red, green, or blue light.

Red-Sensitive

Red-sensitive refers to the capacity of certain cells in the retina, called cones, that are especially responsive to red light, playing a key role in color vision.

Green-Sensitive

Pertains to the ability of certain sensors or cells, especially in the eye, to primarily respond to green light.

Parallel Processing

The ability of the brain to simultaneously process incoming stimuli of differing quality, a fundamental mechanism behind many aspects of perception.
