Summation of texture segregation across orientation and spatial frequency: electrophysiological and psychophysical findings.

Abstract:

:Objects are usually segregated from ground by several visual dimensions. We studied texture segregation in checkerboards defined by gradients in spatial frequency, orientation or both frequency and orientation, using Gabor-filtered noise patterns. Saliency was measured electrophysiologically using the visual evoked potential (VEP) associated with texture segregation ('tsVEP') (an associated component in the visual evoked potential), and psychophysically by a 2AFC task. Spatial frequency and orientation stimuli evoked percepts of texture segregation and tsVEPs in all 11 subjects. The tsVEPs to combined stimuli were larger than those to each dimension alone, but smaller (74%) than the algebraic sum of tsVEPs to both individual dimensions. Psychophysical detection rates differed significantly between all conditions (P < 0.001), with highest rates for the combined stimuli. The findings suggest that segregation based on a combination of 'orientation' and 'spatial frequency' is more salient than that based on either of these alone. The significant deviation from full additivity in the tsVEPs suggests that simultaneous contrasts in spatial frequency and orientation have a common processing stage.
