Simulation of contribution of rhodopsin for forming afterimage

Abstract:

The regeneration rates of rhodopsin under weak and bright light are stimulated, and a model of three energy levels is founded to simulate the photocycle and regeneration rhodopsin when rhodopsin is illuminated by weak and bright light, respectively. Characteristics of the interaction between rhodopsin and light are analyzed theoretically, and this model is used to describe the contribution of rhodopsin to afterimage.
