Hi! Finally getting around to making new blog posts. Here's an introduction (by me, a rookie) into #CausalDiscovery approaches.
How can we use observational data to discover the underlying causal system?

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.
The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.
