Cephalophysics:
Psychophysics in the tradition of Helmholtz, but for cephalopod perception, camouflage and social interaction.

By a fluke of evolution, cephalopods report their perceptions of their visual surroundings in real time through their skin color and texture. We adapt human natural vision concepts and technologies to cephalopod perception, supplemented by single-cell recording and transgenics.
