Contrast sensitivity during the initiation of smooth pursuit eye movements
Eye movements challenge the perception of a stable world by inducing retinal image displacement. During saccadic eye movements visual stability is accompanied by a remapping of visual receptive fields, a compression of visual space and perceptual suppression. Here we explore whether a similar suppression changes the perception of briefly presented low contrast targets during the initiation of s...
متن کاملTemporal contrast sensitivity during smooth pursuit eye movements.
During smooth pursuit eye movements, stimuli other than the pursuit target move across the retina, and this might affect their detectability. We measured detection thresholds for vertically oriented Gabor stimuli with different temporal frequencies (1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 Hz) of the sinusoids. Observers kept fixation on a small target spot that was either stationary or moved horizontally a...
متن کاملModification of smooth pursuit initiation by target contrast
It has been demonstrated that in gap pursuit tasks, smooth pursuit latency is reduced. This 'gap effect' is modified by factors such as gap duration and task context. We have now investigated whether it is also modified by an important visual parameter--the contrast of the pursuit and fixation targets. We found that while pursuit target contrast is an important determinant of pursuit latency, f...
متن کاملChromatic contrast sensitivity during optokinetic nystagmus, visually enhanced vestibulo-ocular reflex, and smooth pursuit eye movements.
Recently we showed that sensitivity for chromatic- and high-spatial frequency luminance stimuli is enhanced during smooth-pursuit eye movements (SPEMs). Here we investigated whether this enhancement is a general property of slow eye movements. Besides SPEM there are two other classes of eye movements that operate in a similar range of eye velocities: the optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) is a reflexi...
متن کاملSpatial perception during pursuit initiation
Spatial perception is modulated by eye movements. During smooth pursuit, perceived locations are shifted in the direction of the eye movement. During active fixation, visual space is perceptually compressed towards the fovea. In our present study, we were interested to determine the time course of spatial localization during pursuit initiation, i.e. the transition period from fixation to steady...
