Hyperacuity for spatial localization of contrast-modulated patterns
The acuity for localizing the position of a grating and other first order patterns which are defined directly by the luminance distribution, is much higher than the resolution for such gratings. This well-described phenomenon usually is referred to as hyperacuity, and is regarded as a cortical function which is not limited by the optics and the sampling properties of the eye. Second order patte...
متن کاملOrientation integration in detection and discrimination of contrast-modulated patterns
Orientation detection and discrimination thresholds were measured for Gabor 'envelopes' formed from contrast-modulation of luminance 'carriers'. Consistent with previous research differences between carrier and envelope orientation had no effect on sensitivity to envelopes. Using plaid carriers in which the proportion of contrast modulation 'carried' by each plaid component was systematically m...
متن کاملSpatial location and hyperacuity: the centre/surround localization contribution function has two substrates.
Vernier acuity and jump detection were investigated using a perturbation technique, in which a flanking line is placed to one side of the target line. The size and direction of vernier displacement, or jump, required for no apparent change of location is strongly influenced by the separation between the flanking line and the test line and by its polarity. For flanks within a zone extending appr...
متن کاملTemporal nulling of induction from spatial patterns modulated in time.
Temporally varying chromatic-inducing light was used to infer receptive-field organization. Time-varying shifts in color appearance within a test field were induced by a surrounding chromatic pattern; the shifts were then nulled by adding a time-varying stimulus to the test area so the observer perceived a steady test. This method measured chromatic induction without requiring an observer to ju...
متن کاملOptimal spatial localization is limited by contrast sensitivity
Bisection is one of several spatial localization tasks that achieve hyperacuity performance levels. We find that optimal bisection thresholds, and hyperacuity tasks in general, are no better than might be expected from simple contrast detection and discrimination performance. The three-line bisection task can be described in terms of the test-pedestal paradigm where the test pattern is a horizo...
