title: Binocular colour interaction.
abstract: Colour filters are used to modify the performance of colour normal subjects on the 100-Hue test. A short wavelength transmission (blue/green) filter is used in front of the dominant eye, and a long wavelength transmission (red/orange) filter is placed in front of the non-dominant eye. The change induced by the filters is then assessed monocularly and binocularly in an attempt to understand the processes involved in the binocular interaction of colour. The tentative conclusion is that the visual system uses a sampling procedure to obtain the best colour discrimination possible for a given set of viewing conditions.
