Chromaticity discrimination: effects of luminance contrast and spatial frequency.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examined the effects of luminance contrast and spatial frequency on chromaticity discrimination of grating bars. Alternate bars of gratings were filled with light of a standard wavelength and light that could be varied in wavelength. The observer set the variable bars to match the standard bars in hue. Discrimination, as measured by the standard deviation of the matches, decreased as spatial frequency increased. Luminance contrast did not improve chromaticity discrimination but did lead to Bezold-Brücke hue shifts that were spatial-frequency dependent.

Spatial and temporal influences on the contrast gauge
A contrast gauge consists of a narrow bar shaded from dark on bottom to light on top [Shapiro, A. G., Charles, J. P., & Shear-Heyman, M. (2005). Visual illusions based on single-field contrast asynchronies. Journal of Vision, 5(10), 764-782]. The perceptual division between dark and light on the bar depends on the luminance level of the surround: when the surround has a high luminance level, th...
متن کاملLuminance discrimination, color contrast, and multiple mechanisms
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of color contrast on luminance discrimination. Observers were required to indicate the more intense of two stimuli presented briefly in a surround. In some conditions the two stimuli were the same chromaticity as the surround, while in other conditions the stimuli differed in chromaticity from the surround. The luminance of the fixed test ...
متن کاملSensitivity to spatial phase at equiluminance
We have measured sensitivity for discriminating the spatial phase of multi-harmonic and two-harmonic patterns modulated either in luminance or in chromaticity (red-green). The multi-harmonic patterns were either highpass squarewaves, lines or ramps. For all patterns, contrast thresholds for discriminating 0 from 180 deg phase were similar to those for discriminating -90 from 90 deg, for luminan...
متن کاملContextual effects on fine orientation discrimination tasks
We examined the influence of context on fine orientation discrimination performance using sinusoidal grating patterns. Discrimination performance was impaired in the presence of modulated surrounds of the same spatial frequency, orientation, and contrast as the center. When center and surround were out-of-phase, separated by a gap of mean luminance, or very different in spatial frequency, perfo...
متن کاملImpaired speed perception but intact luminance contrast perception in people with one eye.
PURPOSE It is generally accepted that early visual deprivation from monocular enucleation (ME; the surgical removal of one eye) results in intact spatial vision. Yet, motion perception studies in this population yield inconsistent findings. Here, we investigated speed and luminance contrast perception in a group of ME individuals. METHODS Twelve ME participants (mean age = 24 years; mean age ...
