Individual Differences in Contrast Sensitivity Functions: The Lowest Spatial Frequency Channels
The number and nature of spatial channels tuned to low spatial frequencies in photopic vision was examined by measuring individual differences in the contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) of seven visually normal adults. Stationary, 51 cd/m2, low spatial frequency sinusoidal gratings between 0.27 and 2.16 c/deg were used as stimuli. Correlational and factor analyses revealed that the set of CSF...
متن کاملSpatial frequency channels derived from individual differences
Contrast sensitivity functions differ from observer to observer. We propose that these differences arise because each observer has unique weights for the outputs of the neural channels that underlie the contrast sensitivity function. By applying principal components analysis to individual contrast sensitivity functions of 297 observers, estimates of the channel tuning curves were found. We find...
متن کاملSpatial frequency adaptation can enhance contrast sensitivity.
A~~ct-Adaptation to a high-contr~t sinusoid& ium~nan~ grating produces a temporary, bandlimited loss in sensitivity centered around the adaptation frequency. The decrease appears to be both narrower and more symmetrical than earlier reports suggest. The effect falls to zero by f f 1 octave and is not reliably present from f f 1 octave to f k 2 octaves. Enhancement of contrast sensitivity occurs...
متن کاملContrast masking reveals spatial-frequency channels in stereopsis.
Yang and Blake (1991 Vision Research 31 1177-1189) investigated depth detection in stereograms containing spatially narrow-band signal and noise energies. The resulting masking functions led them to conclude that stereo vision was subserved by only two channels peaking at 3 and 5 cycles deg-1. Glennerster and Parker (1997 Vision Research 37 2143-2152) re-analysed these data, taking into account...
متن کاملPredicting individual contrast sensitivity functions from acuity and letter contrast sensitivity measurements
Contrast sensitivity (CS) is widely used as a measure of visual function in both basic research and clinical evaluation. There is conflicting evidence on the extent to which measuring the full contrast sensitivity function (CSF) offers more functionally relevant information than a single measurement from an optotype CS test, such as the Pelli-Robson chart. Here we examine the relationship betwe...
