Comment by Ian C Dengler on June 25, 2013 at 12:12pm: Neuronamers think that women really are better at distinguishing among subtle distinctions in color, while men appear more sensitive to objects moving across their field of vision. In one study I didn’t do myself personally aware subjects were shown light and dark bars of different widths and degrees of contrast flickering on a computer screen. The effect was akin to how we might view a car moving in the distance. Men were better than women at seeing the bars, and their advantage increased as the bars became narrower and less distinct. But when the researchers tested color vision in one of two ways—by projecting colors onto frosted glass or beaming them into their subjects’ eyes— women proved slightly better at discriminating among subtle gradations in the middle of the color spectrum, where yellow and green reside. They detected tiny differences between yellows that looked the same to men. The researchers also found that men require a slightly longer wavelength to see the same hue as women; an object that women experience as orange will look slightly more yellowish to men, while green will look more blue-green to men. And there’s the Balazs Baby Effect of Subjective Facial Expression:

Balázs emphasized that the moving pictures brought back the language the body and the expressions of the human face, which had been buried by the culture of books and words. "Facial expression is the most subjective manifestation of man, more subjective than speech," Balázs wrote in Theory of the Film. "The language of the face cannot be suppressed or controlled."
