since it has been shown by stiles that the adaptive states of the primary chromatic ( pi ) mechanisms of the human eye vary independently and since recent theories of visual function have postulated an intimate relation between sensitivity and the temporal characteristics of the retinal response , it is asked whether the temporal integration properties of the eye depend upon the state of adaptation of the retina as a whole or vary independently for each of the chromatic mechanisms.2 .
