=== Color afterimage === Sensitivity to a prolonged stimulation tends to decline over time, leading to [[neural adaptation]]. An interesting effect occurs when staring at a particular color for a minute or so. Such action leads to an exhaustion of the cone cells that respond to that color β resulting in the [[afterimage]]. This vivid color aftereffect can last for a minute or more.<ref>Schacter, Daniel L. ''Psychology: the second edition.'' Chapter 4.9.</ref>
