Figure-Ground Discrimination in the Visual System of Drosophila melanogaster
Drosophila inelanog~lster is able to detect a small visual object hidden in a background of identical texture, as long as there is relative motion between their retinal images. The properties of figurc-ground discrimination in the walking fly are studied under experimental conditions where the positions of figure and ground oscillate sinusoidally with similar frequency and similar amplitude but...
متن کاملMotion perception in the ageing visual system: minimum motion, motion coherence, and speed discrimination thresholds.
We aimed to address two issues: first, to describe how the perception of motion differs in elderly observers as compared to younger ones; and, second, to see if these changes in motion perception could be accounted for by the known changes in the ability of elderly observers to detect patterns (as indexed via contrast sensitivity). The lower threshold of motion, motion coherence, and speed disc...
متن کاملVisual discrimination of spectral distributions.
Human observers seem to be able to use different features that classify materials with a large degree of accuracy. In this paper, we look at human perception of statistical properties of the spectral distribution in a scene. We investigated whether human observers can discriminate just as accurately between coloured textures that have a spectral distribution due either to shading only or to bot...
متن کاملPedestal effect in visual motion discrimination.
Many sensory discriminations, including the discrimination of speed, obey Weber's law and thus become more difficult as the stimuli get larger. Using one-jump apparent motion stimuli, we find that the opposite can occur: displacement discrimination improves with larger jumps. This pedestal effect occurs for small jumps near and below the detection threshold. Finding a pedestal effect in motion ...
متن کاملExternal and circadian inputs modulate synaptic protein expression in the visual system of Drosophila melanogaster
In the visual system of Drosophila melanogaster the retina photoreceptors form tetrad synapses with the first order interneurons, amacrine cells and glial cells in the first optic neuropil (lamina), in order to transmit photic and visual information to the brain. Using the specific antibodies against synaptic proteins; Bruchpilot (BRP), Synapsin (SYN), and Disc Large (DLG), the synapses in the ...
