Abstract

We investigated the characteristics of mechanisms mediating motion discrimination of S-cone isolating stimuli and found a double dissociation between the effects of luminance noise, which masks linear but not non-linear motion, and chromatic noise, which masks non-linear but not linear motion. We conclude that S-cones contribute to motion via two different pathways: a non-linear motion mechanism via a chromatic pathway and a linear motion mechanism via a luminance pathway. Additionally, motion discrimination and detection thresholds for drifting, S-cone isolating Gabors are unaffected by luminance noise, indicating that grating motion is mediated via chromatic mechanisms and based on higher-order motion processing.
