Color discrimination with short-duration stimulus

Color discrimination in Caspian pony

Frequency and duration discrimination of short first-formant speechlike transitions.

Frequency and duration discrimination thresholds of short rising and falling one-formant speechlike transitions without a steady state were determined by means of same/different paired comparison tasks in two experiments. When frequency extent is varied (experiment 1), just noticeable differences decrease with increasing transition duration. Expressed in Hz, thresholds are, on average, 70, 63, ...

Color Discrimination with Broadband Photoreceptors

BACKGROUND Color vision is commonly assumed to rely on photoreceptors tuned to narrow spectral ranges. In the ommatidium of Drosophila, the four types of so-called inner photoreceptors express different narrow-band opsins. In contrast, the outer photoreceptors have a broadband spectral sensitivity and were thought to exclusively mediate achromatic vision. RESULTS Using computational models an...

Discrimination learning with variable stimulus 'salience'

BACKGROUND In nature, sensory stimuli are organized in heterogeneous combinations. Salient items from these combinations 'stand-out' from their surroundings and determine what and how we learn. Yet, the relationship between varying stimulus salience and discrimination learning remains unclear. PRESENTATION OF THE HYPOTHESIS A rigorous formulation of the problem of discrimination learning shou...
