Global shape discrimination at reduced contrast in enucleated observers
Previous research has shown that observers with early unilateral enucleation have selectively better sensitivity to luminance contrast than monocular viewing controls [González et al., 2002; Vision Research 36 (1) (1996) 175; Vision Research 36 (1996) 3011; Vision Research 37 (17) (1997) 2465]. We asked whether unilateral enucleation specifically enhances all levels of luminance processing. Enu...
متن کاملContrast amplification in global texture orientation discrimination.
We show that adding a low-contrast texture stimulus that is far below its own detection threshold to an ambiguously oriented high-contrast texture can produce an easily perceived global orientation. When such a low-contrast (e.g., 0.1%) test texture and a high-contrast (e.g., 2%) amplifier texture are interleaved, the effective strength for global orientation detection closely approximates the ...
متن کاملShape contrast: A global mechanism?
We investigated whether a shape contrast bias is caused by local contrast enhancement or by a global mechanism. In a baseline condition, observers performed a shape discrimination task on an isolated hinged plane. But in the experimental conditions, five dihedral surfaces, of which we varied the dihedral angle distribution, were added on each side. Shape perception was influenced not only by th...
متن کاملAltered global shape discrimination in deprivation amblyopia
To assess the effect of deprivation amblyopia on global shape discrimination, sensitivity to radial deformation of circular patterns was assessed in patients treated for congenital (N=7) or developmental (N=1) cataracts. Elevation in radial deformation threshold was dependent on circular contour frequency and the depth of amblyopia. Analysis of thresholds expressed as Weber fractions indicated ...
متن کاملLocal and global contributions to shape discrimination
Humans are remarkably sensitive in detecting small deviations from circularity. In tasks involving discrimination between closed contours, either circular in shape or defined by sinusoidal modulations of the circle radius, human performance has been shown to be limited by global processing. We assessed the amount of global pooling for different pattern shapes (different radial modulation freque...
