The effects of surround contrast on contrast thresholds, perceived contrast and contrast discrimination
Perceived contrast, contrast detection thresholds and contrast discrimination thresholds were measured in the presence and absence of surrounding patterns of a similar spatio-temporal makeup. In the foveal retina we found that the perceived contrast of the central pattern was reduced by the presence of the contrast surrounds with the effect being greatest at low test contrast. Detection thresho...
متن کاملEffects of saturation and contrast polarity on the figure-ground organization of color on gray
Poorly saturated colors are closer to a pure gray than strongly saturated ones and, therefore, appear less "colorful."Color saturation is effectively manipulated in the visual arts for balancing conflicting sensations and moods and for inducing the perception of relative distance in the pictorial plane. While perceptual science has proven quite clearly that the luminance contrast of any hue act...
متن کاملContextual contrast and perceived knowledge: Exploring the implications for persuasion
The present research tested the notion that perceived target knowledge can be aVected by the amount of information one has about other recently encountered stimuli—whether that information is relevant or not. Furthermore, the present research tested the implications of this eVect for persuasion. In 4 experiments, participants were presented with a persuasive message promoting a Wctitious depart...
متن کاملEffects of contrast and size on orientation discrimination
Motivated by the recent physiological finding that a neuron's receptive field can increase in size by a factor of 2-4-fold at low contrast [Nat. Neurosci. 2 (1999) 733, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96 (1999) 12073], we sought to examine whether a psychophysical task might reflect the contrast dependent changes in the size/structure of a receptive field. We postulate that since spatial summation i...
متن کاملDynamic properties of recurrent inhibition in primary visual cortex: contrast and orientation dependence of contextual effects.
A fundamental feature of neural circuitry in the primary visual cortex (V1) is the existence of recurrent excitatory connections between spiny neurons, recurrent inhibitory connections between smooth neurons, and local connections between excitatory and inhibitory neurons. We modeled the dynamic behavior of intermixed excitatory and inhibitory populations of cells in V1 that receive input from ...
