Attentional effects on contrast discrimination in humans: evidence for both contrast gain and response gain
In order to understand how attention affects visual processing, we investigated the degree to which attention effects can be accounted for by increases in the contrast gain of the contrast response function, CRF (represented by an increase in effective contrast) vs. increases in the response gain (represented by an overall amplification of response). To this end, we used a dual-task paradigm to...
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...
متن کاملMultiple gain control processes in contrast–contrast phenomena
Spatial interactions among orientation-tuned gain control processes are presumed to mediate center-surround contrast-contrast phenomena. In this paper, we assess contributions of gain control processes that pool over orientation. We measured the apparent contrast of a luminance-modulated center disk embedded in various modulated surrounds. In all conditions, observers compared the apparent cont...
متن کاملComparing models of contrast gain using psychophysical experiments.
In a wide variety of neural systems, neurons tuned to a primary dimension of interest often have responses that are modulated in a multiplicative manner by other features such as stimulus intensity or contrast. In this methodological study, we present a demonstration that it is possible to use psychophysical experiments to compare competing hypotheses of multiplicative gain modulation in a neur...
متن کاملDepth-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...
