Reduced sampling efficiency causes degraded Vernier hyperacuity with normal aging: Vernier acuity in position noise
Vernier acuity, a form of visual hyperacuity, is amongst the most precise forms of spatial vision. Under optimal conditions Vernier thresholds are much finer than the inter-photoreceptor distance. Achievement of such high precision is based substantially on cortical computations, most likely in the primary visual cortex. Using stimuli with added positional noise, we show that Vernier processing...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal vernier acuity.
The study of space-time vernier (STV) provides information on the spatio-temporal structure of the visual system in the same way that the classical spatio-spatial vernier (SSV) provides information on its spatial structure. The transposition of a SSV task into a STV one yields the following experimental format: an object (in the present case a Gaussian Blob) drifts with a constant velocity, V, ...
متن کاملAnisotropies in peripheral vernier acuity.
Vernier acuity for short horizontal, vertical and oblique target lines was measured in many locations in the periphery of the visual field in normal human observers. In the 10 deg periphery, the average alignment threshold with oblique vernier lines in eight locations for three observers was 2.29 times higher than that with vertical and horizontal target lines. This oblique effect was found eve...
متن کاملModels of Perceptual Learning in Vernier Hyperacuity
Performance of human subjects in a wide variety of early visual processing tasks improves with practice. HyperBF networks (Poggio and Girosi, 1990) constitute a mathematically well-founded framework for understanding such improvement in performance, or perceptual learning, in the class of tasks known as visual hyperacuity. The present article concentrates on two issues raised by the recent psyc...
متن کاملVernier acuity with plaid masks: the role of oriented filters in vernier acuity
Superimposition of oriented grating masks on vernier targets results in bimodal patterns of vernier threshold elevation, with peaks occurring on either side of vernier target orientation. These bimodal masking effects suggest a contribution to vernier acuity from spatial filters tuned to orientations on either side of the target. We report similar bimodal threshold elevation with plaid masks co...
