Depth-dependent contrast gain-control
Contrast adaptation that was limited to a small region of the peripheral retina was induced as observers viewed a multiple depth-plane textured surface. The small region undergoing contrast adaptation was present only in one depth-plane to determine whether contrast gain-control is depth-dependent. After adaptation, observers performed a contrast-matching task in both the adapted and a non-adap...
متن کاملStimulus Contrast and Retinogeniculate Signal Processing
Neuronal signals conveying luminance contrast play a key role in nearly all aspects of perception, including depth perception, texture discrimination, and motion perception. Although much is known about the retinal mechanisms responsible for encoding contrast information, relatively little is known about the relationship between stimulus contrast and the processing of neuronal signals between v...
متن کاملAdaptive contrast gain control and information maximization
Contrast gain control is an important mechanism underlying the visual system’s adaptation to contrast of luminance in varying visual environments. Our previous work showed that the threshold and saturation determine the preferred contrast sensitivity as well as the maximum information coding capacity of the neuronal model. In this report, we investigated the design principles underlying adaptat...
متن کاملSimulation of Retinal Contrast Gain Control Mechanisms
I present a simulation of contrast gain control mechanisms operating among transient M cells in the monkey s retina in order to investigate the spatial consequences of this interaction The simulation stages include a realistic viewing model non linear receptor model linear spatial ltering and a saturating output function Contrast gain control is introduced by pooling recti ed signals from on an...
متن کاملSpatial pooling of contrast in contrast gain control.
We report psychophysical measurements of spatial pooling functions for contrast gain control. We use a nulling technique to measure the dependence of contrast induction on the spatial frequency of a sinusoidal contrast modulation. This dependence on spatial frequency, when transformed, provides the profile of a spatial pooling function. The measured profiles are fitted well by Gaussians. We con...
