Brain Imaging Study Reveals Striking Consistency in Color Perception

A new neuroscience study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to record the brain activity of 15 participants, revealing a surprising similarity in how different individuals perceive and process colors. Researchers created brain activity maps and trained a machine-learning model to predict the colors participants were viewing. The results showed a high degree of consistency in color representation across different brains, even at low levels of neural activity, challenging previous understandings and offering new evidence for the objectivity of color perception.
