Contrast Adaptation and Representation in Human Early Visual Cortex
The human visual system can distinguish variations in image contrast over a much larger range than measurements of the static relationship between contrast and response in visual cortex would suggest. This discrepancy may be explained if adaptation serves to re-center contrast response functions around the ambient contrast, yet experiments on humans have yet to report such an effect. By using e...
متن کاملSelective adaptation to color contrast in human primary visual cortex.
How neural activity produces our experience of color is controversial, because key behavioral results remain at odds with existing physiological data. One important, unexplained property of perception is selective adaptation to color contrast. Prolonged viewing of colored patterns reduces the perceived intensity of similarly colored patterns but leaves other patterns relatively unaffected. We m...
متن کاملContrast adaptation in human retina and cortex.
PURPOSE Although cortical contrast adaptation has been extensively studied with both psychophysical and electrophysiological techniques, little is known about retinal contrast adaptation in humans. METHODS Retinal and cortical long-term contrast adaptation was assessed with simultaneous measurement of pattern electroretinogram (PERG) and cortical visual evoked potentials (VEPs). This study in...
متن کاملRepresentation of surface luminance and contrast in primary visual cortex.
In visual perception, object identification requires both the ability to define regions of uniform luminance and zones of luminance contrast. Neural processes underlying contrast detection have been well studied, while those defining luminance remain poorly understood and controversial. Partially because stimuli comprised of uniform luminance are relatively ineffective in driving responses of c...
متن کاملModelling Contrast Adaptation and Contextual Effects in Primary Visual Cortex
Orientation selective cortical neurons show contrast-invariant orientation tuning curves, contrast saturation and contrast adaptation. Additionally, their responses are modulated by oriented stimuli outside the classical receptive eld. We characterize the extent, to which these eeects can be caused by a recurrent network of simple neurons, and which properties are probably due to plasticity of ...
