In Helmholtz's theory three sets of fibers in the retina are said to give rise respectively to sensations of red, green, and violet.44 There are supposed to be three kinds of photo-chemically decomposible substances in the end organs, each with different degrees of sensitiveness to different parts of the visible spectrum.
Helmholtz stressed the importance of the process of unconscious inference in space perception 49 Perception of space, he said, is not inherent; instead we "infer" space from past experience, but without awareness that this process of inference is going on.

 Embodiments and Contextual Difference
However, in the case of the four main characters, Bernard Marx, John the Savage, Helmholtz Watson, and Lenina Crowne, my contention is that the roles Bernard and John are seen as embodying have remained relatively static, while those of Watson and Lenina have undergone revision, which in Lenina’s case could be considered quite radical.
Helmholtz Watson, on the other hand, is an outsider from the new world because he is too smart to accept his position as professor at the College of Emotional Engineering.
Watson’s possibility, in the context of modernism, was unfulfilled, and therefore wasteful or useless.

In addition, a subgroup dubbed "Alpha Double-Plus" appears once, of which Helmholtz Watson is a member.
In the last chapter, Bernard Marx and his friend Helmholtz Watson go into exile in the islands, but the Savage is not allowed to go with them.
Instead, he finds an old lighthouse in rural England as a home and he tries to start a new life as a hermit, including a regime of privation and self-flagellation.

Watson is the antithesis of Bernard; he is handsome and sporty and has women fawning over him.
Helmholtz Watson also faces the same predicament in the sense that his superiors think he is a little too good at what he does.
Helmholtz Watson: emotional engineer, friend of Bernard, also an outcast but due to his great physical beauty and muscular strength and mental excess; later Bernard is jealous of him when he and the Savage become friends; eventually sent to the Falkland Islands when he exhibits too much independence.

But Helmholtz is still not happy because he knows he is capable of writing something beautiful and powerful, rather than the nonsense that he has to write for the press or the feelies.
Helmholtz is entranced, and is annoyed when Bernard equates a Shakespearean metaphor with orgy-porgy.
He tells Bernard and Helmholtz that he, too, asked to be sent to an island, and that the Controller refused because he wanted "to go on with the experiment." The Controller apparently didn't realize that John was capable of refusing to go on with it.

 Mike Gorman: Bell's Path the the Telephone--Home Page
Bell knew, from Helmholtz, that this wave would "express in a graphical manner the vibratory movement of the air while the reeds were producing their musical tones."[20] Furthermore, the vibrations of the individual reeds on the permanent magnet could be summed into a single undulating curve.
To release it, Watson plucked it; Bell noticed that this caused the corresponding reed at B to vibrate powerfully.
We used it to describe Bell's understanding of the Helmholtz apparatus for reproducing vowel sounds, Bell's own harp apparatus, his understanding of how sound and electricity could be visualized in terms of sinusoidal waves, and finally, this sketch of the bones of the ear next to two different mechanical representations.

Helmholtz Watson was very much in the same situation.

In June 1875, Watson was making a delicate adjustment on the telegraph's transmitting reed when Bell suddenly came running in from the next room to say he had heard the sound on his receiving reed.
Bell took up the study of electricity simply because Helmholtz had applied it to sounds, which were the heart and soul of the Bell family's work.
In the case of Helmholtz, then, we are led to believe that Bell plunged into his work only because he falsely believed a great scientist had already accomplished much of it.

A mental excess had produced in Helmholtz Watson effects very similar to those which, in Bernard Marx, were the result of a physical defect.
That which had made Helmholtz so uncomfortably aware of being himself and all alone was too much ability.
But whereas the physically defective Bernard had suffered all his life from the consciousness of being separate, it was only quite recently that, grown aware of his mental excess, Helmholtz Watson had also become aware of his difference from the people who surrounded him.

It is very apparent that Helmholtz and Bernard both had problems with women.
Even though Bernard and Helmholtz would never be able to reveal their true feelings toward each other, there are certainly instances where it is implied that there might have been something more going on with those two than met the eye, whether either of them realized it or not.
It is entirely possible that through the conditioning in the Brave New World, Bernard and Helmholtz, in fact, had no idea of the extent or intensity of their true feelings.
