Contrast discrimination with and without spatial uncertainty
The main purpose of these experiments was to examine in detail how successfully the uncertainty reduction explanation accounts for the effects of spatial cues in a temporal forced-choice contrast discrimination task in which any one of four well-separated Gabor patches is incremented. In preliminary experiments, it was shown that in the absence of uncorrelated contrast jitter, observers could u...
متن کاملContrast discrimination function: spatial cuing effects.
The effects of spatial cuing were measured for discrimination between an increment and a decrement on a target's pedestal contrast. Discrimination thresholds measured in the absence of a spatial cue were always higher than corresponding thresholds measured in the presence of a spatial cue, except when pedestal contrast was near zero. Uncued discrimination thresholds rose monotonically with pede...
متن کاملContrast discrimination with sinusoidal gratings of different spatial frequency.
The detectability of contrast increments was measured as a function of the contrast of a masking or "pedestal" grating at a number of different spatial frequencies ranging from 2 to 16 cycles per degree of visual angle. The pedestal grating always had the same orientation, spatial frequency, and phase as the signal. The shape of the contrast-increment threshold versus pedestal contrast (TvC) fu...
متن کاملModeling spatial integration and contrast invariance in visual pattern discrimination.
PURPOSE Human pattern discrimination performance has been reported to be largely independent of stimulus contrast but to depend on stimulus area. The authors propose a model that combines the effects of spatial integration and contrast. The model is based on the computation of similarity between pattern templates in memory and signals to be discriminated using normalized correlation. There are ...
متن کاملPulse and steady-pedestal contrast discrimination: effect of spatial parameters
The goal of this study was to establish the spatial summation properties associated with inferred PC- and MC-pathway mediated psychophysical contrast discrimination. Previous work has established two paradigms that reveal characteristic signatures of these pathways. In the pulse paradigm, a four-square array was pulsed briefly, on a constant background. In the steady-pedestal paradigm, the stim...
