Spatial ratios of cone excitations produced by light reflected by different surfaces in a scene may provide the cue for discriminating changes in illuminant from changes in surface reflectances. To test whether these ratios can be computed across the two eyes, observers were presented with simulations on a computer-controlled monitor of pairs of juxtaposed or separated Munsell surfaces undergoing an illuminant change with a small change in cone-excitation ratios or a change with constant cone-excitation ratios. Surfaces were viewed either binocularly or dichoptically. Observers reliably discriminated the two changes in both viewing conditions, although less well dichoptically. Cone-excitation ratios, which may in principle be computed retinally, may also be computed cortically.
