Abstract
AN experiment was carried out on 98 women and 104 men with "normal" red-green vision, on 4 women and 14 men who had various degrees of red-green blindness, and on 3 men who are green-anomalous because they reject the normal Rayleigh equation by a wide margin. The experiment was along the lines of Collins's research on the Rayleigh equation with rotating disks1, and the details of the technique and other results will be published later.
