Visual reaction time (VRT) has been measured for the detection of an achromatic stimulus on a CRT colour monitor. The adapting backgrounds were blue, cyan, green, yellow and red and the spatial and temporal presentation of the stimulus was computer-controlled. Comparisons of VRT have also been made between various retinal zones. The results are compared with those in the literature, obtained through conventional optical methods and are explained in terms of the opponent-colour theory.
