Darks are processed faster than lights.
Recent physiological studies claim that dark stimuli have access to greater neuronal resources than light stimuli in early visual pathway. We used two sets of novel stimuli to examine the functional consequences of this dark dominance in human observers. We show that increment and decrement thresholds are equal when controlled for adaptation and eye movements. However, measurements for salience...
متن کاملFaster than the brain’s speed of light: Retinocortical interactions differ in high frequency activity when processing darks and lights
Some studies suggest that the processing of darks benefits from greater neural resources in the visual system and potentially occurs faster. However, evidence from the human is still sparse, especially with respect to retinocortical interactions. We recorded retinal and cortical responses to 480 ms light flashes simultaneously with electroretinography (ERG) and magnetencephalography (MEG) in te...
متن کاملNeuronal nonlinearity explains greater visual spatial resolution for darks than lights.
Astronomers and physicists noticed centuries ago that visual spatial resolution is higher for dark than light stimuli, but the neuronal mechanisms for this perceptual asymmetry remain unknown. Here we demonstrate that the asymmetry is caused by a neuronal nonlinearity in the early visual pathway. We show that neurons driven by darks (OFF neurons) increase their responses roughly linearly with l...
متن کاملSnails Are Faster Than ADSL
Snails are widely assumed to be slow animals. Yet the literature on sluggish speed is surprisingly limited, and only few have actually bothered to measure and record it formally. Further, reported gastropod speeds vary widely with species and circumstance, ranging from 0.000023 to 0.0028 meters per second ([1] and [2], respectively). With that in mind, it is not surprising that the use of snail...
متن کاملeshes Are Faster Than Synchronous
This paper shows that self-timed meshes can achieve linear speed-up. The per-processor performance of a mesh is the average number of operations per processor per unit time. For synchronous processors, it has been shown that the per-processor performance of a mesh goes to zero as the size of the mesh goes to injnity. This paper shows that for self-timed meshes, the per-processor performance can...
