From BBC - Future:
As Concetta Antico took her pupils to the park for an art lesson, she would often
question them about the many shades she saw flashing before her eyes. … Today, she
knows that this is a symptom of a condition known as “tetrachromacy”. … Tetrachromats
are rare enough, but Antico is particularly remarkable, since, as an artist, she is
able to give us a rare view into that world. “Her artwork might tap into a structure
that all of us can appreciate,” says Kimberly Jameson at the University of California,
Irvine, who has studied Antico extensively. It’s even possible that she might suggest
ways for more people to see the same way.
