Perceived Speed of Colored Stimuli
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of contrast and color on perceived motion was measured using a speed-matching task. Observers adjusted the speed of an L cone contrast pattern to match that of a variety of colored test patterns. The dependence of speed on test contrast was the same for all test colors measured, differing only by a sensitivity factor. This result suggests that the reduced apparent speed of low contrast targets and certain colored targets is caused by a common cortical mechanism. The cone contrast levels that equate perceived speed differ substantially from those that equate visibility. This result suggests that the neural mechanisms governing speed perception and visibility differ. Perceived speed differences caused by variations in color can be explained by color responses that are characteristic of motion-selective cortex.

Perceived Speed of Colored Stimuli there are two cortical processing streams which process
In this and two companion papers we examine the cortical basis for the relationship between perceived Stanford, California 94305 speed, color, and contrast. Here, behavioral experiments designed to measure how perceived speed depends on color and contrast are described. The second Summary paper reports functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measurements of color responsivity in a motion-T...
متن کاملThe contribution of color to depth perceived from motion parallax
Perceived depth was measured in a colored stimulus while stimulus movement yoked to head displacement simulated a depth of 1 cm. Velocity judgments were also made for similar stimuli moving at the same average speed but without head movement. Both measures decreased to a minimum of about 30-40% of the veridical values when the stimuli were equiluminous. Perceived depth and speed also decreased ...
متن کاملPerceived duration of Visual and Tactile Stimuli Depends on Perceived Speed
IT IS KNOWN THAT THE PERCEIVED DURATION OF VISUAL STIMULI IS STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY SPEED: faster moving stimuli appear to last longer. To test whether this is a general property of sensory systems we asked participants to reproduce the duration of visual and tactile gratings, and visuo-tactile gratings moving at a variable speed (3.5-15 cm/s) for three different durations (400, 600, and 800 ms...
متن کاملIs Color Perception of Packages Affected by Their In-aisle Position?
The retail environment is characterized by numerous competing stimuli vying for the consumer’s attention. Products packages feature both verbal and nonverbal elements. Nonverbal stimuli, like package colors, seem to be particularly relevant for perception. Knowing whether there is preferential positioning of colored items on the shelves is fundamental for retailers. In addition, some colors may...
متن کاملOculomotor contribution to the change in perceived speed with viewing distance.
An array of moving circular stimuli was used to determine whether perceived speed is affected by the oculomotor responses associated with changes in viewing distance. The perceived speed of stimuli viewed at either 0.33 or 1.33 m was compared to the perceived speed of a similar stimulus viewed at a distance of 5.5 m. In addition, a control condition was run in which changes in perceived speed w...
