3.21 Perception/decoding: Edges, contrasts and colors
Our visual system is attracted to edges, and we assess contrast and brightness in terms of relative rather than absolute values (Healy 2018, Ch. 1.3.1)
Our ability to see edge contrasts is stronger for monochrome images than for color (Healy 2018, Ch. 1.3.1)
