Monocular lustre from flicker
نویسنده
چکیده
A spot that flickers at 16 Hz between two luminance levels (on a grey surround) has an appearance of metallic lustre, which we call 'monocular lustre'. Binocular and monocular lustre were measured in comparable conditions by a rating procedure, and both were reported only when the light and dark values of the flickering (or binocularly fused) spot straddled the surround luminance, so that the spot was alternately brighter and darker than the surround. We attribute lustre to competition between ON and OFF visual pathways.

Monocular and binocular mechanisms mediating flicker adaptation
Flicker adaptation reduces subsequent temporal contrast sensitivity. Recent studies show that this adaptation likely results from neural changes in the magnocellular visual pathway, but whether this adaptation occurs at a monocular or a binocular level, or both, is unclear. Here, two experiments address this question. The first experiment exploits the observation that flicker adaptation is stro...
متن کاملDichoptically cancelled motion
We sought to determine whether or not motion-from-texture mechanisms have access to monocular input. Adopting a strategy used by Kolb and Braun (1995. Nature, 377, 336-338), we created drifting textures that were invisible to purely binocular processes. Monocular signals readily conveyed motions defined by local orientation and flicker. However, when left- and right-eye signals were displayed s...
متن کاملOpposing effects of atropine and timolol on the color and luminance emmetropization mechanisms in chicks
This study analyzed the luminance and color emmetropization response in chicks treated with the nonselective parasympathetic antagonist atropine and the sympathetic β-receptor blocker timolol. Chicks were binocularly exposed (8h/day) for 4days to one of three illumination conditions: 2Hz sinusoidal luminance flicker, 2Hz sinusoidal blue/yellow color flicker, or steady light (mean 680lux). Atrop...
متن کاملDepression and later enhancement of the critical flicker frequency during prolonged monocular deprivation.
One eye was visually deprived for 1 day, and the critical flicker frequency in the other eye was determined at the start of the deprivation period and then at intervals of 3, 6, 9, 15, and 24 hours. There was an initial depression in performance, followed by an enhancement effect. No significant changes in the critical flicker frequency were observed in the occluded eye at corresponding times; ...
متن کاملBinocular interactions in normal and anomalous binocular vision: effects of flicker.
Temporal modulation thresholds were determined for monocular viewing and for binocular viewing of stimuli presented in phase or in counterphase to each eye of observers with normal binocular vision and those lacking stereopsis. The results showed that in individuals with normal binocular vision sensitivity was much greater for in-phase than for counterphase stimulation at low temporal frequenci...
