Summary

Story summary

Researchers at the University of Tübingen studied color perception using functional MRI.
They discovered consistent neural activity patterns for colors across different individuals.
The study aimed to predict color perception without prior brain data.
By mapping responses to black-and-white patterns, they decoded color perception.
Findings indicate a universal architecture for color encoding in the visual cortex, with implications for communication technologies.
