[Tig] Color contrast is 'seen' by the brain early doors

[timothy norman huber]

"Scientists at Durham University have confirmed that colour contrast  
is first detected by part of the brain called primary visual cortex,  
which is located at the very back of the head where visual  
information first enters the cortex of the brain. This was recently  
discovered to be the case in animals but has not been tested on human  
beings until now."

This would explain why my initially felt (for 2-3 seconds tops) that  
the Sony SXRD 4k looked better than the 70mm print at Bill Bennett's  
"As good as it gets" night a few months back.   The contrast from the  
DI made it snappier and more initially appealing.  This explanation  
seems plausible.
