If color and motion direction of random dots in the central region was combined in opposite fashions with those of random dots in the peripheral region, the color of dots with a particular direction in the peripheral region is perceived as that of dots in the central region, known as color-motion mis-binding phenomenon. In the present study, it is investigated whether mis-binding would happen even if the central and peripheral region do not have a common three-dimensional surface. In the first experiment, the dots in the peripheral were presented in a different depth plane with use of binocular disparity, and in the second experiment the disparity of dots in the peripheral region was randomly selected from a given range. The results showed that the magnitude of mis-binding was weakened, but not completely disappeared even when two regions did not have a common 3D surface. These results indicate that the surface information from motion and stereodepth may influence in the process of color-motion mis-binding.
