Orthogonal adaptation improves orientation discrimination.

Abstract:

:We investigated the effect of adaptation on orientation discrimination using two experienced observers, then replicated the main effects using a total of 50 naïve subjects. Orientation discrimination around vertical improved after adaptation to either horizontal or vertical gratings, but was impaired by adaptation at 7.5 or 15 degrees from vertical. Improvement was greatest when adapter and test were orthogonal. We show that the results can be understood in terms of a functional model of adaptation in cortical vision.
