What does the mantis shrimp see?

Mantis shrimp have 12 color receptors in their eyes - four times as many as humans do. But do they see more color? Find out more -- scim.ag/1P75v8v Read the research -- scim.ag/1IEAFi7

[@fireclaw2]

What does not distinguishing colours have to do with seeing more? It's difficult to test for colours we can't imagine.

[@Moltormod]

Yes, trying to proof mantis see more colours based on the colours that we see its kinda odd. Yet, it seem because even tho with sounds and light we know there are spectrums we can not percive but we have prove that they exist thewe biologist said theu light perception as, this the only extra thing they do.

[@rajsinghania1090]

Mantises have more color receptors than humans we can't tell what the colors look like so can't filterize a picture

[@sureiguess1]

i want those eyes. and sharingans. i want those too

[@rudydsouza7432]

ah so they cant see different shades of colour

[@nickcollins2001]

Wouldn’t those three types of light have their own identifiable color?

[@yangcaiward2004]

In now they find that they can see about 16 colors now

[@sayanorasonic]

I don't get it, is it because they have less brain power to process more color that's why it's bad? But what if we have the same amount of color receptors as them?

[@Phrenotopia]

Clarence John Alfonso No, it has not so much to do with their brain power. It's that they process the information in a fundamentally different way. They don't put the input from different colour receptors together, but respond more quickly to what they can see with a lower colour depth.

[@Phrenotopia]

Apart from that, their colour receptors cover basically the same spectrum of light as human eyes, though with an outlier into the ultra violet. So even with their 12 receptors, we would still basically see the same colours.

[@gomez3357]

Phrenomythic your a genius

[@caseyjay8097]

i wonder what watt UV light pisses them off? Just the fact that they're scanning the yellow-orange range of the spectrum in near darkness at that depth is more than impressive. Spider eyes are a close second but these trip me tfo.

[@vangeliscosmos5427]

Where do you know that it cannot see more colour?

[@exceptionhandler78]

how much more is more ?

[@saeedashtiani1968]

in the eyes there are cells sensing light, and like that you see black and white, and also there are cells sensing colors. we have three. some animals have none, one, two or three, this mantis is blessed with 14. Mormons believe Jesus did it.

[@account5003]

@@exceptionhandler78 atleast 13 more

[@jaredh5298]

What if there are so many colors the mantis shrimp couldn’t differentiate between some of the scientists selected close shades? Lol. The idea of colors we can’t see arguing it on other species fascinates the hell out of me 😂❤️

[@jamesworley9888]

If this is the case how do we know that Concetta Antico sees more colors then we do? Maybe she can't differentiate between certain ones and this explains why she claims to see color in certain places we don't!!! Maybe she sees pink at the end of a rainbow where we see purple for example and that might be why she sees purple in places it isn't! Or green and yellow might be two shades she's pretty good at telling apart but they are still seen as two shades of green to her. Like an is my red your red type of deal only see sees them in such a way that makes things seem better for her then they actually are! She might also have more rod sensitivity explaining the overwhelmingness of it all.

Does anyone understand the black dots on their eyes that appear and dissappear?

[@deadall127]

I bet only straight light rays get inside the eye (otherwise they can't really see) so the black point you're seeing is actually the perfect alignement between the camera and the eye, as no light comes out of the light sensing surface of this eye (I doubt we can call that a retina)

[@S1baar]

So is 24nm better than 4nm?

[@karna5998]

Recognising 4nm difference is better, it's like telling difference between different shades of same color(women are better at this) . 24nm would be more like, "I see red, I see orange, no in between" but mantis shrimps can see total 16 base colors, opposed to total 3 base colors we humans do

[@karna5998]

@rares mihai yep, but there are most likely some colours that we can't see (that the shrimp can) it would be impossible for us to even imagine them

We can see polarized light. Remove our lenses and we can see UV as well. Mantis shrimps ain't got nothin on us!

That's not polarized light. It's completely impossible for us to see polarized light, even withouth lenses.

Maybe you can't.. look up Haidinger's brush

But as a group we can't. Instead all of us would see UV withouth the crystalline lens. Well, not blind ones...

[@alvarodelgado5734]

This video is dumb. How does that experiment show they don't see other colors It just shows they encompass similar colors as one. Perhaps they do this by default since there is so many other colors out there and there is no point in differing similar colors because theres just so many. Since we are so limited we do see these differences since we have nothing else to see or focus on basically. My take
