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.

I 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.

Bullshit. 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.
>>
>>107877774
No it doesn't really let you see new colors but it lets your differentiate between colors on a higher level.
>>
>>107877801
I'm not even gonna try to explain to you how retarded this statement is. Go back to whatever dumb clickbait reels you came from.

>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.
>>
>>107877774
Depends 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
>>
>>107877857
Theoretically, any human could be born with wings and fly, too. You just don't see it happen much.

what 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
>shiiii
I 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.
>>
>>107877774
yes, 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.
>>
>>107878096
Point 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.

Fast forward to the test part, it worked very well for me and it was pretty trippy.
>>
>>107877910
That is not how colors work retard.

>>107878096
Cones help you tell the difference between colors, that's why some color blind people can't tell the difference between purple and deep blue.

Oh hey, that's me.

Low IQ post. There is no such thing as a "color spectrum".

How would anyone know what extra cone does for vision? We don't even know what each of us see without any mutations.
>>
>>107878745
>How would anyone know what extra cone does for vision?
By understanding what the existing cones do for vision and making a reasonable extrapolation?
>>
>>107878698
Why would I take meds to be as retarded as you?
>>
>>107878773
Well there's only 3 choices anyway:
More color resolution
Wider spectrum (a bit into infra-ultra)
Nothing
And we still don't know how would it look like
>>
>>107878818
Judging by the way normal vision works, it's none of the things you listed and would actually enable you to distinguish contrasting visual details where you currently see nothing but solid color.
>>
>>107877857
lSorry to break it to you but
1. Our brains barely.handle trichromatic vision (in computer terms we're on DOS [night vision] + Windows 3.1 [red-green vision] + win32s [poorly integrated blue vision]
2. We have UV filters in our eyes [google retinoblastoma or uveal melanoma but not while eating] so even if we get a proper mutation it wouldn't see anything.
3. Females don't have a proper tetrachromancy. Just see more shades of yellow (AFAIK Acer makes/used to make RYGB displays). Besides human eyesight is organised around complementary colours black-white, red-green, blue-yelkow, not around RGB model.
>>
don't do the trick where you find out with just your eyes how to distinguish polarized light from non-polarized light
you will be aware of it for the rest of your life and it sucks
>>
>>107878843
More color resolution then.
>>107878855
I need that trick
>>
>>107878877
no you don't
it's stupid
but it's called hardinger's brush if you want to be annoyed for decades like i have
>>
>>107877177
Doesn't women have better color vision in general? Something about women having evolved for gathering as opposed to hunting (moving targets). Maybe that kind of surgery could be a hit with trannies.
>>
>>107878877
>More color resolution then.
That's not "color resolution". Being able to distinguish finer shades of (say) blue is "higher color resolution". Suddenly discovering that what you thought was blue actually has contrasting blotches of a color unlike any other is something else entirely.
>>
>>107878962
No they don't I had a crush on this girl and she could barely tell purple and blue apart.
>>
>>107878990
>Being able to distinguish finer shades of (say) blue is "higher color resolution".
nta but didn't the japs use to call the color green a shade of blue? Also the "color" orange used to be a shade of red before it got its own name after the fruit.
>>
>>107877177
"new dimension of colors"
it's just a red/green cone... it just means they have slightly better color fidelity...
>>
>>107879054
What you call a color doesn't change what it looks like so I don't see the relevance. Western women can name you 10 different shades of purple meawhile it's all just 'purple' to you, but that doesn't stop you perceiving that they are indeed different colors.

That's basically a meaningless statement. You might as well say red is just a green-green cone.
