I can't think of a mechanism by which this could happen, since the cone pigments will have the same absorption rates in either case. There's no signal that the brain could use to behave differently.

i just reread about the retina and i think you are correct.

i was under the false impression that the transfer function for each group of cones was a function of some processing in higher layers of the ventral stream.
