چکیده
In four experiments, we explored observers’ ability to make heading judgments from simulated linear and circular translations through sparse forests and with pursuit fixation on one tree. We assessed observers’ performance and information use in both regression and factorial designs. In all experiments we found that observers used three sources of object-based information to make their judgments—the displacement direction of the nearest object seen (a heuristic), inward displacement towards the fovea (an invariant) and outward deceleration (a second invariant). We found no support for the idea that observers use motion information pooled over regions of the visual field. © 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Human heading judgments and object-based motion information
In four experiments, we explored observers' ability to make heading judgments from simulated linear and circular translations through sparse forests and with pursuit fixation on one tree. We assessed observers' performance and information use in both regression and factorial designs. In all experiments we found that observers used three sources of object-based information to make their judgment...
متن کاملAnalysis of pharmacologically isolated components of the ERG
An harmonic analysis was applied to the electroretinogram (ERG) measured in intact cat eyes in control conditions and after pharmacological isolation of the components attributed to photoreceptors (PIII) and bipolar neurons (PII). The frequency response curves obtained in various conditions showed that the bandwidth of the PII component extends over a range of stimulus frequencies higher than t...
متن کاملDaily rhythm of vigilance assessed by temporal resolution of the visual system
To assess the daily distribution of temporal resolution in visual detection, binocular double-pulse resolution (DPR) was measured over a 24 h period in six healthy subjects. DPR showed a significant daily variation with an amplitude for the foveal stimulus of up to 60%. Like in other vigilance-dependent daily rhythms, optimal performance occurred around midday. The DPR measurements described he...
متن کاملReticalmin: A novel calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV-like protein in rat retina
Western blot analysis of 100,000 g supernatant of rat retina using a polyclonal anti-Ca2+/ calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaM-kinase IV) antibody revealed an immunoreactive mass of 35 kDa, termed reticalmin. Lower amount of a isoform of CaM-kinase IV was also expressed in rat retina. Reticalmin did not react with anti-CaM-kinase IV C-terminal peptide antibody which recognized alpha and...
متن کاملDual nonlinearities regulate contrast sensitivity in pattern discrimination tasks
Many current psychophysical models propose that visual processing in cortex is hierarchical, with nonlinearities sandwiched between linear stages of processing. In earlier publications, we proposed a model of this type to account for masking effects found with spatial frequency and orientation discriminations. Our model includes two nonlinear mechanisms that regulate contrast sensitivity in ear...
