RESUMO
Many experiments concerned with the role of color in depth and motion perception have applied isoluminant random-dot stereograms and cinematograms. The poor performance in the absence of luminance contrast has been associated with color-blindness of stereopsis and motion perception (Livingstone, M.S. & Hubel, D.H. (1987) J. Neurosci. 7, 3416-3468). Nevertheless, isoluminant stimuli are not fully accepted as appropriate tools in isolating central mechanisms (Logothetis, N.K., Schiller, P.H., Charles, E.R. & Hurlbert, A.C. (1990) Science 247, 214-217). In our experiments we use a broad luminance range to test whether color can contribute to a given mechanism when luminance contrast is present but has a strong "veto" effect from opposite luminance contrast, a condition we named "metaisoluminance." There is no fusion in stereopsis under polarity reversal, when only luminance information is given, and reversed-phi phenomenon is experienced for motion. As a third "matching" task, we included polarity-reversed random-dot Glass-patterns, which exhibit "static flow" and also show pattern reversal. We found that color can counteract the effects of polarity reversal by restoring stereoscopic fusion and reversed phi motion and does it with increased efficiency as the hue contrast increases. We found no such effect of color in Glass-patterns. Thus, we showed that the visual system for binocular depth and motion perception is not color-blind, although correlated hue information under metaisoluminance does not appear to yield shape perception.
