Techniques that involve the use of comb-filtered spectra to study human colour vision have been developed in previous work (Bonnardel, V., Bellemare, H., Mollon, J.D., 1996. Measurements of human sensitivity to comb-filtered spectra, Vision Research 36, 2713-2720; Bonnardel, V., Ruderman D.L., Barlow, H.B., 1997. A fast determination of the Spectral Modulation Sensitivity Function: a comparison between trichromats and deuteranopes. In: C.R. Cavonius (ed.), Color vision deficiencies XIII. Dordrecht: Kluver 415-424). These techniques are applied in the present study to measure colour discrimination among deuteranomalous observers and normal trichromats, with the aim of determining the spectral position of the anomalous cone fundamentals. Results show that comb-filtered spectra are useful in determining the extent to which variability in colour discrimination among anomalous and normal trichromatic colour observers is accounted for by the spectral properties of photoreceptors.

Comb-filtered noise (CFN, derived from white noise by suppressing regularly spaced frequency regions) was presented for 3 s followed by two types of test stimuli. One test stimulus (SB) was comprised of spectra centered in the stop-band regions of the CFN and the other test stimulus (PB) of spectra centered in the band pass regions of the CFN. Magnetoencephalographically recorded N1m responses evoked by SB stimuli were decreased relative to the N1m response evoked by PB stimuli.

Using a novel stimulator that incorporates a liquid crystal display, the spectral modulation sensitivity function of the colour vision system was derived by measuring discrimination thresholds for comb-filtered spectra. This function shows a peak of sensitivity at 0.97 c/300 nm with a plateau that extends to 1.

For colour vision, the task of the eye is to discriminate different distributions of energy over the spectrum. This is usually treated as a problem in the wavelength domain, analogous to treating spatial resolution in terms of spatial positions in the image. What is attempted here is a treatment of colour vision in terms of the system's responses to spectral energy distributions that are sinusoidal functions of wavelength.
