The influence of orientation jitter and motion on contour saliency and object identification.

abstract：:Several characteristic of aftereffects (especially the motion aftereffect) depend upon the square root of the time spent adapting. The same parameters are here examined for the contrast threshold elevation aftereffect. The time taken to recover is shown to be well predicted by root adaptation time (beyond a minimum du...

Using a spatial forced choice task, we have measured the ability of subjects to detect binocular luminance disparities. We show that the detection of binocular luminance disparity shares several basic psychophysical features with t...
