If we can ever get that kind of brain read technology so to speak, it can also finally settle the aggravating and mind bending question of whether your blue is the same as my blue. Wouldn't it be wild if our interpretation of colors were all varied?
- Swizec 4y agoWe can already use language to measure different color perception! For example we know that women see more colors than men. Or at least name more. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-019-0341-7 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-019-0341-7 And we have experimental evidence that peoples who don’t have a name for a color have a harder time seeing it. https://www.sciencealert.com/humans-didn-t-see-the-colour-blue-until-modern-times-evidence-science https://www.sciencealert.com/humans-didn-t-see-the-colour-bl...
