We investigated the spatial parameters that permit temporal phase segmentation. Subjects identified a stimulus quadrant which was modulated 180 degrees out of phase with the rest of the stimulus at temporal frequencies between 2 and 30 Hz. We determined the modulation sensitivity for regular square lattices of Gaussian spots and a stimulus made from solid quadrants with varying separation. Sens...

The study of how visual processing functions in the absence of visual awareness has become a major research interest in the vision-science community. One of the main sources of evidence that stimuli that do not reach conscious awareness-and are thus "invisible"-are still processed to some degree by the visual system comes from studies using continuous flash suppression (CFS). Why and how CFS wo...

In this paper, we present a new approach of analysis and recognition of retinal vessel segments for the quantification of their shapes change due to alterations. This approach is based on a spatial followed by a temporal characterization of retinal fluorescein angiographic images. The spatial characteristics (coordinates and classification number i.e. numbering of segments) are associated to bi...

Traditional video capture is limited by the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution. When capturing videos of high temporal resolution, the spatial resolutions decreases due to bandwidth limitations in the capture system. Achieving both high spatial and temporal resolution is only possible with highly specialized and very expensive hardware; although the bandwidth is higher, the same ...

Spatial and temporal variability of nitrogen fixation in Lake Valencia, Venezuela, were quantified on the basis of duplicate water samples collected from a depth of 0.5 m at 16 sites on 10 dates. The concentration of heterocysts in samples was determined and the samples were incubated with acetylene in situ. Two-way ANOVA was used to separate the variance associated with site (fixed spatial pat...

An experiment with four implantees with the Mini System 22 device was undertaken to measure the loudness summation across two channels of stimulation, with stimuli in which the current pulses were delivered alternately to each channel. The effects of varying spatial separation, temporal separation, and extent of stimulation were investigated. It was found that the absolute amount of summation v...
