How far away is medical technology from tetrochromatic implants?If you don't know, some women have a genetic mutation where they have 4 functional color cones in their eyes, allowing them to see a new dimension of colors compared to normal humans.

>>107877177I think I have this and I'm not a woman. I noticed I can distinguish more colors than normal people and I did a color test once and it said my color perception was better than 99% of people. You notice it the most when you take a photo and the colors in the photo look different than the thing you're looking at in real life because the camera just can't capture all the colors, however film is a bit better at capturing the extra colors than digital. It makes nature look nicer, some flowers look pretty wild to me but normies don't seem to notice.
>>107877267I look like that and say that.
>>107877267I look like that but I don't say this
>4 functional color cones in their eyes, allowing them to see a new dimension of colorsBullshit. Even if the additional cone is present and functional, it does not extend the range in any useful way.That artist woman who claims to see millions more colours is the most obvious obvious grifter/bullshitter I've ever seen.
>>107877774No it doesn't really let you see new colors but it lets your differentiate between colors on a higher level.
>>107877801I'm not even gonna try to explain to you how retarded this statement is. Go back to whatever dumb clickbait reels you came from.
>>107877177>women have a genetic mutation where they have 4 functional color cones in their eyes, allowing them to see a new dimension of colors compared to normal humans.I'm willing to bet this mutation is most common in white women trying to find themselves.
>>107877774Depends entirely on what wavelengths the extra cone is sensitive to, doesn't it?Many animals have eyes that are sensitive to different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum than we are. Birds have tetrachromacy and their visible light range extends into UV.I don't think it's that far fetched that humans could theoretically have a mutation like that. Just need a cone that's sensitive to a slightly different wavelength (seems plausible with random genetic mutations). The wiring is already there and the brain will just learn to interpret the signals the same as it does with red, green and blue.

I'd love to do that weird experiment where scientists make you see a shade of cyan or teal or whatever that no human has ever seen before, but I'd also be afraid that it'd make me go insane because I'd never be able to see it again
>>107877857Theoretically, any human could be born with wings and fly, too. You just don't see it happen much.
>>107877177>>107877267what if tetrachromacy is actually way more common like 1-0.1% but people who has it just think that's normal?like they never get a moment like>pass the red paint>bro that's green>shiiiiI wonder how many rare mutations go unnoticed like that.also, did you know that most vertebrates have 4 cones but mammals only has 2 because it is thought that common ancestor filled a niche as a nocturnal animal when dinosaurs went extinct? Primates evolved one back, if you look closely, red and green curves are very close together compared to blue.
>>107877774yes, that is why adding a third cone does not extend the range either, color blindness does not exist, 2 cones is just as good as 3.
>>107878096Point taken. But there must come a point where just repeatedly slapping in additional cones of more and more similar wavelenghts ceases to be functionally useful. Tetrachromacy in humans seems to do exactly that - the 4th cone is typically sensitive to wavelengths in-between the two cones that are already close together (not to mention it's far closer to one of the two instead of being directly in-between). If it sat in the cyan range, then it would be a different story.
>>107877807>too retarded to form an arguementBless your heart
>>107877877Here you go;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6jyq_RY8i8Fast forward to the test part, it worked very well for me and it was pretty trippy.
>>107877910That is not how colors work retard.>>107878096Cones help you tell the difference between colors, that's why some color blind people can't tell the difference between purple and deep blue.
>>107878402>some color blind people can't tell the difference between purple and deep blue.Oh hey, that's me.Also, I'm pretty sure that anon was being sarcastic.
