Trichromatic and Dichromatic Relative Sensitivity to Green Light in a Mild Hypoxic Environment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Several studies have reported that individuals with normal color vision have a relative decrease in sensitivity to green light in hypoxic environments approximating altitudes above 4000 m. Because there is little available information describing the effects of mild hypoxic environments (less than 4000 m) in subjects with deficient color-vision, we examined the effect of mild hypoxia on the relative sensitivity to green light for color-normal and color-deficient subjects. METHODS: Relative sensitivity to the green light was measured using the Medmont C-100 at ground and 3780 m in an altitude chamber. There were 30 subjects, 13 with normal color vision and 17 with a congenital red-green defect, who participated in the study. The relative sensitivity to the green light was determined from the average of four settings measured during the 4.5-h trial. RESULTS: Color-normals and anomalous trichromats showed a small decrease in the relative sensitivity to the green light at 3780 m compared to ground. In contrast to the trichromatic results, the relative sensitivity of the dichromats to the green light did not differ between 3780 m and ground. DISCUSSION: Our results show that a decrease in the relative sensitivity to green light can occur in hypoxic environments that are equivalent to altitudes greater than 3700 m in individuals with trichromatic but not dichromatic color vision. Although the change in sensitivity was significant, it was small and unlikely to have any operational impact.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
