Orientation discrimination and tilt aftereffects with luminance and illusory contours
Orientation discrimination and tilt aftereffects (TAEs) were measured to determine if the orientation of luminance and illusory contours are processed by separate mechanisms. The assumption was made that if a single mechanism supports the perception of both types of contours, then illusory and luminance contours that support the same level of orientation discrimination will be equally effective...
متن کاملOrientation-sensitivity of face identity aftereffects
Our ability to recognize faces despite their similarity as visual patterns depends on high-level face-coding mechanisms that are strongly tuned to upright faces. If face aftereffects reflect adaptation of these mechanisms, as widely assumed, then they should be sensitive to face orientation. Previous studies have not supported this hypothesis, but have generally used a figural aftereffect parad...
متن کاملOrientation-Contingent Face Aftereffects and Implications for Face-Coding Mechanisms
Humans have an impressive ability to discriminate between faces despite their similarity as visual patterns. This expertise relies on configural coding of spatial relations between face features and/or holistic coding of overall facial structure. These expert face-coding mechanisms appear to be engaged most effectively by upright faces, with inverted faces engaging primarily feature-coding mech...
متن کاملPerceptual learning of luminance contrast detection: specific for spatial frequency and retinal location but not orientation
Performance of a wide range of simple visual tasks improves with practice. Here we ask whether such learning occurs for the fundamental visual task of luminance contrast detection. In two experiments we find that contrast sensitivity increases following extensive practice at detecting briefly presented sinusoidal luminance gratings and that learning is maintained after six months. Learning is s...
متن کاملOrientation and spatial-frequency discrimination for luminance and chromatic gratings.
We have examined the accuracy of orientation and spatial-frequency discrimination for sine-wave gratings that vary in either luminance or color. The equiluminant chromatic gratings were modulated along either a tritanopic confusion axis (so that they were detectable on the basis of activity in only the short-wavelength-sensitive cones) or an axis of constant short-wavelength-sensitive cone exci...
