Model of visual contrast gain control and pattern masking.
We have implemented a model of contrast gain and control in human vision that incorporates a number of key features, including a contrast sensitivity function, multiple oriented bandpass channels, accelerating nonlinearities, and a devisive inhibitory gain control pool. The parameters of this model have been optimized through a fit to the recent data that describe masking of a Gabor function by...

We have implemented a model of contrast gain control in human vision which incorporates a number of key features, including a contrast sensitivity function, multiple oriented band-pass channels, accelerating nonlinearities, and a divisive inhibitory gain-control pool.

متن کاملContrast Gain Control in Plaid Pattern Detection
A plaid is a combination of two gratings whose orientations are orthogonal to each other with the same or similar contrasts. We used plaid patterns as stimuli to investigate the mechanisms underlying the detection of a plaid to understand how the visual system combines information from orientation-selective channels. We used a masking paradigm in which an observer was required to detect a targe...
متن کاملAttentional effects on contrast discrimination in humans: evidence for both contrast gain and response gain
In order to understand how attention affects visual processing, we investigated the degree to which attention effects can be accounted for by increases in the contrast gain of the contrast response function, CRF (represented by an increase in effective contrast) vs. increases in the response gain (represented by an overall amplification of response). To this end, we used a dual-task paradigm to...
متن کاملContrast Gain in the Brain
Human sensory systems have the remarkable ability of adjusting sensitivity to the surrounding environment. In this issue of Neuron, Gardner and colleagues used fMRI to show how the visual system shifts its sensitivity to contrast. This process may be helpful for keeping the appearance of contrast constant across a range of spatial frequencies.
