Color induction in equiluminant flashed stimuli

Evaluating Equiluminant Chromatic Stimuli As Stimuli for Assessing Glaucomatous Damage

Illusory localization of stimuli flashed in the dark before saccades

A photic stimulus flashed just before a saccade in the dark tends to be mislocalized in the direction of the saccade. This mislocalization is not only perceptual; it is also expressed by errors of ocular targeting. A particular situation arises if the point of light is flashed twice at the same place, the second time, just before a saccade. The point of light may appear at two different places ...

Compensation for equiluminant color motion during smooth pursuit eye movement.

Motion perception is compromised at equiluminance. Because previous investigations have been primarily carried out under fixation conditions, it remains unknown whether and how equiluminant color motion comes into play in the velocity compensation for retinal image motion due to smooth pursuit eye movement. We measured the retinal image velocity required to reach subjective stationarity for a h...

Perception of relation of stimuli locations successively flashed before saccade

Based on localization error for a single perisaccadic flash, eye position signal is supposed to change more slowly than physical eye position. Nevertheless, a flicker is not perceived as moving in accordance with localization error for a single flash. We carried out two experiments to investigate this problem. Experiment 1 examined how a single flash or a flicker presented before saccade was pe...

Perception of forbidden colors in retinally stabilized equiluminant images: an indication of softwired cortical color opponency?

In color theory and perceptual practice, two color naming combinations are forbidden-reddish greens and bluish yellows-however, when multicolored images are stabilized on the retina, their borders fade and filling-in mechanisms can create forbidden colors. The sole report of such events found that only some observers saw forbidden colors, while others saw illusory multicolored patterns. We foun...
