Centering biases in heterochromatic brightness matching.

Abstract:

:When the method of constant stimuli is used to measure heterochromatic brightness matches, the resulting matches can be strongly biased toward the center of the range of test luminances used. In the present paper, we investigate the source of this centering bias. The stimuli were 2 degrees red squares presented in a gray surround. In the main experiments, two ranges of stimulus luminance were presented in separate physical locations on a video monitor, but with test trials interleaved in time. Subjects either fixated a fixation cross (fixation condition), creating different retinotopic locations for the two luminance ranges, or foveated each stimulus as it appeared (foveation condition), creating identical retinotopic locations for both ranges. In the fixation condition, the two different stimulus sets resulted in a simultaneous centering bias--two different brightness matches at two different retinotopic locations at the same time. This effect was essentially eliminated in the foveation condition. A dichoptic foveation condition also revealed no centering bias. The results suggest that under the conditions tested, the centering bias is caused by a process located at a post-retinal but still retinotopically organized level of the visual system, rather than by either a retinal process or a more central, spatiotopically organized one.

  • Microsaccade directions do not predict directionality of illusory brightness changes of overlapping transparent surfaces.

    abstract::Tse (2005) recently introduced a new class of illusory brightness changes where shifts of attention lead to shifts in perceived brightness across overlapping, transparent figures, under conditions of visual fixation. In the absence of endogenous attentional shifts, illusory brightness changes appear to shift from figu...
