Real Life Superheroes:Consetta's eyes can recognize 100 million colors, only 1% of people have this quality

 

When we look at a normal leaf, only dark green color is seen. But Australia's Concetta Antico also sees purple, turquoise and blue colors in this leaf. Actually antico are tetrachromate, that is, they have the fourth color receptor in the retina of their eyes. Usually people have only three color receptors in their eyes. These are called cone cells (cone cells). They have the ability to separate one million colors.

According to scientists, the eyes of tetrachromats are capable of recognizing and distinguishing 100 million colors. Antico says, 'Since childhood, I felt like I was living in a magical world. Everything was wonderful for me. I could see detail in everything. Whatever I used to see, I used to put it in the painting.'

After completing her university studies, she came to San Diego, USA and became an art teacher.

Only 1% of the people
did not know about this quality till 2012. One of his neurologist students shared his study about tetrachromacy. It was written in this that the daughter of such a mother is likely to be color blind. Shortly before this, Antico came to know of the daughter's color blindness.

Kimberley Jameson, an expert at the University of California, says, '15 percent of women have the gene responsible for tetrachromacy. It can only happen to women. Because the fourth cone cell can be formed only by mutations on two X chromosomes. This has happened to only 1 percent of the people in the world.

Antico to launch an online platform for
tetrachromats is exploring ways to help color blind people. They feel that if the problem is recognized early, they can train their brains quickly. She is soon going to open a color blind art school. Will also launch an online platform for tetrochromats.
