Description:'At the basis of the phenomenon of simultaneous contrast lies, as Fechner [note: 'Poggendorff's Annal. XXXVII, XLIV. &c. 1837, &c.'], Mach [note: 'Sitzungsb. d. kais. Akad. d. Wiss. Wien, 1866 &c.'], and Hering [note: 'Sitzungsb. d. kais. Akad. d. Wiss. Wien, 1872 and later.'] may be said to have proved, a reciprocal physiological relation between units of the retino-cerebral apparatus such that activity of the apparatus connected with a point of retinal surface P affects the reactions of the apparatus belonging to the retinal area circumjacent about P.'
