s_humanConeAbsorptions

Deprecated. The human cone calculations should be done in ISETBio.

Calculate the cone absorptions rates per second to a range of blackbody radiators.

Where does the rule of thumb below come from?

The rough rule of thumb is 95,66,7 absorptions/sec per candela/m2 for the L, M and S cones. This is governed by the scaling of the photopigment peaks, of course.

A 100 cd/m2 5000 deg blackbody radiator causes about 10,000 absorptions in a second in the L cones.
