His "dominator-modulator" theory states that in addition to the retina's three kinds of cone cells, which respond to different colours, certain optic-nerve fibres (dominators) respond either to the whole spectrum or to specific colours (modulators).

He shared a 1967 Nobel Prize with George Wald and Haldan Keffer Hartline
