Effects of contrast and temporal frequency on orientation discrimination for luminance and isoluminant stimuli.

abstract：:Genetic analyses were performed on five male children (approximately 3 years), two suspect color-normals and three suspects for congenital color vision deficiencies. These classifications were based on visually-evoked potential (VEP) responses to M- and L-cone-isolating stimuli obtained in a previous study when each s...
