Peripheral contrast sensitivity for sine-wave gratings and single periods.
The contrast sensitivity of the human eye has been measured as a function of eccentricity. The stimulus used was a sine-wave grating with a fixed height of 5’. in a surround of luminance that equals the average stimulus luminance. The measurements were carried out with stimulus width as the independent variable. The “local’. sensitivity for gratings was found to decrease monotonically with incr...
متن کاملDifferential effects of aging on spatial contrast sensitivity to linear and polar sine-wave gratings
Changes in visual function beyond high-contrast acuity are known to take place during normal aging. We determined whether sensitivity to linear sine-wave gratings and to an elementary stimulus preferentially processed in extrastriate areas could be distinctively affected by aging. We measured spatial contrast sensitivity twice for concentric polar (Bessel) and vertical linear gratings of 0.6, 2...
متن کاملEarly malnutrition decreases contrast sensitivity to circular concentric gratings
Early malnutrition refers to inadequate nutrition during the critical period of nervous system development followed by nutritional recovery, resulting in a short stature according to age but normal weight according to short stature. We measured the effects of early malnutrition on contrast sensitivity (CS) to concentric circular gratings in 18 children of both sexes, aged 8 to 11 years (mean = ...
متن کاملAcute effect of alcohol intake on sine-wave Cartesian and polar contrast sensitivity functions
The aim of this study was to assess contrast sensitivity for angular frequency stimuli as well as for sine-wave gratings in adults under the effect of acute ingestion of alcohol. We measured the contrast sensitivity function (CSF) for gratings of 0.25, 1.25, 2.5, 4, 10, and 20 cycles per degree of visual angle (cpd) as well as for angular frequency stimuli of 1, 2, 4, 24, 48, and 96 cycles/360°...
متن کاملAdaptation to sine-wave gratings selectively reduces the contrast gain of the adapted stimuli.
Adapting to sinusoidal gratings selectively reduces contrast sensitivity to subsequent test stimuli. To investigate the perceptual processes underlying selective adaptation, we developed an external noise plus adaptation paradigm and a theoretical framework based on a noisy observer model (the contrast-gain-control Perceptual Template Model [cgcPTM]). After adapting to a 45 deg, 2-Hz counter-fl...
