Impairments of contrast discrimination and contrast adaptation in glaucoma.
PURPOSE Contrast detection is commonly measured clinically; however, discrimination between contrasts is also important for natural vision. Furthermore, optimal performance requires the visual system to adapt to ambient contrast conditions. Recent studies of primate neurophysiology demonstrate significant retinal involvement in contrast adaptation. This study was conducted to investigate whethe...
متن کاملContrast discrimination in noise.
Even the highest contrast sensitivities that humans can achieve for the detection of targets on uniform fields fall far short of ideal values. Recent theoretical formulations have attributed departures from ideal performance to two factors--the existence of internal noise within the observer and suboptimal stimulus information sampling by the observer. It has been postulated that the contributi...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملContrast discrimination at high contrasts reveals the influence of local light adaptation on contrast processing
Previous measurements of contrast discrimination threshold, delta C, as a function of pedestal contrast, C, for sine-wave gratings have shown a power law relationship between delta C and C at suprathreshold levels of C. However, these studies have rarely used contrasts greater than 50%. Whittle (1986), using incremental and decremental patches, found that delta C increased with C only up to abo...
متن کاملContrast discrimination in peripheral vision.
Contrast discrimination provides a psychophysical method for studying contrast coding in vision. Our purpose was to compare properties of contrast discrimination in central and peripheral vision. We used forced-choice procedures to measure contrast-increment thresholds as a function of pedestal contrast. Our stimuli were 2-cycle/deg Gaussian-windowed sine-wave grating patches. They were centere...
