Looking for data for cone cell responsivity (color vision)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on obtaining numerical data related to cone cell responsivity and color vision. The user seeks information on whether cone cells are directly measured or if human color matching is involved in data collection. They inquire about the feasibility of creating a function to map wavelengths to RGB values using the data and request recommendations for primary sources in the field. A valuable resource, the Color Vision Research Laboratory (CVRL), is identified as a key reference for this data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cone cell physiology and color vision
  • Familiarity with color matching experiments and methodologies
  • Knowledge of RGB color model and its application in programming
  • Basic skills in data analysis and interpretation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the methodologies used in cone cell responsivity experiments
  • Explore the Color Vision Research Laboratory (CVRL) for relevant datasets
  • Learn how to implement color mapping functions in programming languages like Python
  • Investigate primary literature on color vision and cone cell studies
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for neuroscientists, color vision researchers, and software developers interested in color mapping and visual perception studies.

Hello,
1) I am looking for numerical data behind plots like this one.

2) Also, any information on the experiments the data comes from would be helpful. Are cone cells directly measured, or does it involve a human matching colors to a pure color light source?

3) Will I be able to write a function that maps wavelengths to RGB values using said data?

4) What are some good primary sources in this field?

Thank you for answering any of these or just commenting!

EDIT: The link above actually links to a PDF with the data, so never mind that part of the question.
EDIT2: I found this great resource of data on color vision: http://www.cvrl.org/
