Spatial frequency discrimination in schizophrenia.
Pathways within the visual system can be distinguished on the basis of selectivity for low or high spatial frequencies. Spatial frequency discrimination was evaluated in 17 medicated male patients with schizophrenia and 19 male control subjects. Subjects were required to discriminate whether pairs of high contrast, sinusoidally modulated gratings were the same or different in spatial frequency....
متن کاملSpatial frequency discrimination in cyclopean vision
It is well known that inspecting a cyclopean grating causes threshold for detecting a subsequently presented test cyclopean grating to be elevated, and that the threshold elevation is greatest at the adapting frequency. We report here that spatial frequency discrimination threshold is also elevated, but the elevation is greatest at frequencies offset from the adapting frequency, and the elevati...
متن کاملThe development of spatial frequency discrimination.
We compared thresholds for discriminating spatial frequency for children aged 5, 7, and 9 years, and adults at two baseline spatial frequencies (1 and 3 cpd). In Experiment 1, the minimum change from baseline necessary to detect a change in spatial frequency from either baseline decreased with age from 34% in 5-year-olds to 11% in 7-year-olds, 8% in 9-year-olds, and 6% in adults. The data were ...
متن کاملThe role of local separation in spatial frequency discrimination
Spatial frequency discrimination could simply reflect the ability to discriminate local differences in width when sinusoidal gratings are used. We introduced random fluctuations in the half-cycle widths of both extended 1c/° gratings and those restricted to 1.5 cycles (i.e. two bars of identical phase), as we hypothesised that discrimination for large gratings would be more robust to this disto...
متن کاملAltered spatial frequency content in paintings by artists with schizophrenia
While it is difficult to imagine the way someone with mental illness perceives the world, paintings produced by mental illness sufferers with artistic talents offer a hint of this experience. Here we analyze these images in terms of statistics related to low-level visual processing. It is known that art in general possesses regular spatial frequency amplitude spectra, probably due to factors in...
