Scientists hijacked the human eye to get it to see a brand-new color. It's called 'olo.'
'Olo' is a brand-new color only ever seen by 5 people
Using an experimental technique called "Oz," researchers stimulated the human retina such that people saw a brand-new color.
Wouldn't it be more accurate to describe it as a brand new eye stimuli? There is no new color added to the spectrum, just a new way to get electrical signals to the brain?
Well really every single wave length could conceivably be a unique colour if we had receptors for it..what we see of the full spectrum, does not really represent the spectrum .
Since they stimulated only the M cone without the S and L getting the normal natural stimulation for green, they technically are seeing a new level of green colour (since red and blue got 0)
Sigh. "Octarine" was just waiting for this moment.
Olo?
