The Unilateral Mean Luminance Alters Additive Internal Noise in Normal Vision.

abstract：:Twenty-four subjects judged the size of the horizontal and vertical extents of the path traversed by a circularly rotating target. The target was rotated at velocities ranging from 0.18 to 1.13 cycles s-1, and observed with smooth pursuit eye movements or by fixating a point in the center of the path. It was found tha...
