The effect of contrast adaptation on briefly presented stimuli.

abstract：:Studies of spatial summation often use sinusoidal gratings with blurred edges. When the envelope is elongated (i) along the grating stripes and (ii) at right angles to the grating stripes, we refer to the stimuli as skunk-tails and tiger-tails respectively. Previous work [Polat & Tyler, 1999; Vision Research, 39, 887-...

It can change the visual system's sensitivity to the increment, and it can change the appearance of the increment by directly adding redness to it.
