The Appropriateness of Contrast Metric for Reaction Times.

abstract：:Human observers can correctly attribute changes in the appearance of a scene either to changes in the incident light or to changes in the spectral-reflectance properties of the scene. This ability was assessed as a function of the time course of illuminant and spectral-reflectance changes. Observers were presented wit...

abstract：:When a large optic-flow pattern is viewed, induced self-motion perception (vection) can result even for observers who are stationary relative to Earth. Vection is common in optokinetic drums, large-screen cinemas, vehicle simulators, and other virtual environments. However, not all optic-flow patterns are equally effe...
