The oblique effect depends on perceived, rather than physical, orientation and direction
Observers can better discriminate orientation or direction near the cardinal axes than near an oblique axis. We investigated whether this well-known oblique effect is determined by the physical or the perceived axis of the stimuli. Using the simultaneous tilt illusion, we generated perceptually different orientations for the same inner (target) grating by contrasting it with differently oriente...
متن کاملAdaptation to number operates on perceived rather than physical numerosity.
Humans share with many animals a number sense, the ability to estimate rapidly the approximate number of items in a scene. Recent work has shown that like many other perceptual attributes, numerosity is susceptible to adaptation. It is not clear, however, whether adaptation works directly on mechanisms selective to numerosity, or via related mechanisms, such as those tuned to texture density. T...
متن کاملStereopsis and binocular rivalry are based on perceived rather than physical orientations
Binocular rivalry is an intriguing phenomenon: when different images are displayed to the two eyes, perception alternates between these two images. What determines whether two monocular images engage in fusion or in rivalry: the physical difference between these images or the difference between the percepts resulting from the images? We investigated that question by measuring the interocular di...
متن کاملDual-Route Model of the Effect of Head Orientation on Perceived Gaze Direction
Previous studies on gaze perception have identified 2 opposing effects of head orientation on perceived gaze direction-1 repulsive and the other attractive. However, the relationship between these 2 effects has remained unclear. By using a gaze categorization task, the current study examined the effect of head orientation on the perceived direction of gaze in a whole-head condition and an eye-r...
متن کاملThe oblique effect in orientation acuity
We have examined the dependence of rotational acuity on the orientation bandwidth of a stimulus using two-dimensional, band-pass filtered, spatial noise. Stimuli had a bandwidth of 0.5 octave of spatial frequency, centred at 5.0 cyc/deg, and an orientation bandwidth that covered the range from 0.0 to 25.0 deg. Thresholds were obtained on one principal (vertical), and one oblique axis (45 deg). ...
