Comparison of thresholds for high-speed drifting vernier and a matched temporal phase-discrimination task.

abstract：:It is commonly believed that objects viewed in certain contexts may be more or less salient. Measurements of salience have usually relied on asking observers "How much does this object stand out against the background?". In this study, we measured the salience of objects by assessing the distraction they produce for s...
