Adaptation to Peripheral Flicker
UNLABELLED With strict fixation, a flickering disk presented in the peripheral retina rapidly appeared to lose contrast and stop flickering, owing to adaptation. Subjects measured this adaptation by continually adjusting the flicker amplitude of a peripherally viewed disk to hold it just at threshold. RESULTS (1) The contrast threshold for flicker increased logarithmically over time. (2) The ...
متن کاملAdaptation from invisible flicker.
Human ability to resolve temporal variation, or flicker, in the luminance (brightness) or chromaticity (color) of an image declines with increasing frequency and is limited, within the central visual field, to a critical flicker frequency of approximately 50 and 25 Hz, respectively. Much remains unknown about the neural filtering that underlies this frequency-dependent attenuation of flicker se...
متن کاملThe Peripheral Flicker Illusion
A new illusion is reported. A visual object suddenly appearing on a red background sometimes causes an impression of flicker or double flash. In Experiment 1, a red, green, or blue object was presented on a red, green, blue, or gray background. Participants evaluated the illusion strength in reference to the physical flicker of a gray object presented in central vision. The results show that th...
متن کاملSpatial properties of flicker adaptation
Prolonged viewing of a flickering region reduces sensitivity to a subsequently flickered test patch of identical extent, but the spatial properties of this adaptation are unknown. What happens to the sensitivity to a smaller flickered test patch completely contained in, but inset from, the adapted region? We show that sensitivity to the inset test patch is only slightly affected by adaptation o...
متن کاملMonocular and binocular mechanisms mediating flicker adaptation
Flicker adaptation reduces subsequent temporal contrast sensitivity. Recent studies show that this adaptation likely results from neural changes in the magnocellular visual pathway, but whether this adaptation occurs at a monocular or a binocular level, or both, is unclear. Here, two experiments address this question. The first experiment exploits the observation that flicker adaptation is stro...
