The Concetta Antico woman, who has a fourth cone cell in her eyes, can see 100 million different colors from normal people. It is estimated that the number of colors that normal people can see is around 1 million.
Concetta Antico She has a rather rare condition that allows her to see a lot more colors than normal people. Tetrachromate The woman who has had a fourth cone cell in her eyes in addition to the normal three cone cells.
Before realizing his ability to see dazzling colors, Antico made his career as an artist and fully colored he describes as. “I was a girl with five colors of nail polish on my hand, I had a bright yellow bedroom.” The artist says that he is caught up in nature because of the magic of colors.
Concetta Antico stated that they could not understand the colors when they showed them to other children, so that something about himself different she says she’s starting to suspect that it’s happening. Although these doubts persisted for a while, he understood exactly what the situation was in 2010, while he was teaching an art class in San Diego.
Antico, those moments “A Japanese film crew tetrachromasia and I asked my students to raise their hands if I showed them colors they could not see. 12 of them raised their hands “ He explains with the expressions.
It can see 100 million colors:
An average person is about one million color can be seen, whereas in tetrachromates that have an extra cone cell in their eyes, this number To 100 million coming out. This provides people with this difference, such as the Concetta Antico, a vision that normal people cannot imagine.
The cone cells, the part of the eye responsible for colors, are defined as structures designed to absorb certain wavelengths of light and transmit them to the brain. If the case of tetrachromasia On the X chromosome It is thought to be caused by mutations.
This situation, which occurs on the X chromosome, allows people to see more or fewer colors. However, these mutations in men when they occur, often making them colorblind, in women If there is a mutation in both X chromosomes, the probability of having a tetrachromate increases.
What would have happened if computers hadn’t improved further?
The fourth cone in Antico’s eyes, studied by scientists at the University of California, is thought to absorb light of “reddish-orange-yellow” wavelengths. At the same time, possibly due to her own genetic mutation color-blind has a 12-year-old daughter.
