Sensitivity to curvature deformations along closed contours.

abstract：:The standard psychophysical model of our early visual system consists of a linear filter stage, followed by a nonlinearity and an internal noise source. If a rectification mechanism is introduced at the output of the linear filter stage, as has been suggested on some occasions, this model actually predicts that human ...

abstract：:Human observers are able to estimate various ego-motion parameters from optic flow, including rotation, translational heading, time-to-collision (TTC), time-to-passage (TTP), etc. The perception of linear ego-acceleration or deceleration, i.e., changes of translational velocity, is less well understood. While time-to-...
