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 کاملOrientation integration in detection and discrimination of contrast-modulated patterns
Orientation detection and discrimination thresholds were measured for Gabor 'envelopes' formed from contrast-modulation of luminance 'carriers'. Consistent with previous research differences between carrier and envelope orientation had no effect on sensitivity to envelopes. Using plaid carriers in which the proportion of contrast modulation 'carried' by each plaid component was systematically m...
متن کاملSlow discrimination of contrast-defined expansion patterns
We compared observers' performance in the same complex motion discrimination task using stimuli defined by luminance or by contrast. They were asked to discriminate between a centred expansion pattern, constructed from four patches of outwards motion, and a distorted expansion pattern, constructed with one patch containing inwards motion and three patches containing outwards motion. We measured...
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 کاملThe effects of contrast on perceived depth and depth discrimination
The contrast dependence of perceived depth was quantified through a series of depth matching experiments. Perceived depth was found to be a power law function of contrast. In addition, subjects exhibited a large uncrossed depth bias indicating that low contrast test patterns appeared much farther away than high contrast patterns of equal disparity. For disparities in the range of +/- 4.0 arc mi...
