Concentric orientation summation in human form vision
Psychophysical data demonstrate that orientation information in concentric, random-dot Glass patterns is summed linearly to extract a global form percept. Surprisingly, no such global pooling was found for Glass patterns with parallel structure. A simple neural model explains these results and agrees with recent V4 single unit physiology. As V4 provides the major input to IT, global concentric ...
متن کاملSelectivity for coherence in polar orientation in human form vision
Evidence from summation near threshold psychophysical experiments using compound Glass patterns is presented which supports the existence of mechanisms in the human visual system tuned for coherence in radial and concentric, and +45 degrees and -45 degrees spiral orientations. It is suggested that sensitivity to +45 degrees and -45 degrees logarithmic spirals serves to disambiguate the sense of...
متن کاملSummation of concentric orientation structure: seeing the Glass or the window?
Rotational Glass patterns are discriminable from noise at substantially lower signal-to-noise levels than translational patterns, a finding that has been attributed to the operation of concentrically tuned units in cortical area V4 (Wilson, Wilkinson, & Asaad, Vis. Res. 37 (17) (1997) 2325; Wilson & Wilkinson, Vis. Res. 38 (19) (1998) 2933). Under experimental conditions similar to Wilson et al...
متن کاملProbability, not linear summation, mediates the detection of concentric orientation-defined textures.
Previous studies investigating signal integration in circular Glass patterns have concluded that the information in these patterns is linearly summed across the entire display for detection. Here we test whether an alternative form of summation, probability summation (PS), modeled under the assumptions of Signal Detection Theory (SDT), can be rejected as a model of Glass pattern detection. PS u...
متن کاملCross-orientation masking in human color vision.
Detection of a Gabor pattern is impaired in the presence of a similar pattern of orthogonal orientation, a phenomenon known as cross-orientation masking (XOM). Here we investigate the role of color in cross-orientation masking. We measured contrast detection thresholds to horizontally oriented Gabors overlaid by similar Gabors of a different orientation. Red-green chromatic masking was compared...
