Since the eye just measures the response values at the S, M, L cones, I wonder if we would be able to see more colors on the spectrum if we had more cones to register them.

I know this is not a biology class, but I was just fascinated by the fact our brain can turn these spectral info into an image. I'm also wondering, since we are "seeing" all these picture and our brain only receive the spectral info, where do the images we see actually form?

Many other animals have different numbers of cones. Those with more can certainly detect more colors than us human do. Some people actually have 4 cones and that allows them to see a different spectrum.
