Noise Provides New Insights on Contrast Sensitivity Function
Sensitivity to luminance difference, or contrast sensitivity, is critical for animals to survive in and interact with the external world. The contrast sensitivity function (CSF), which measures visual sensitivity to spatial patterns over a wide range of spatial frequencies, provides a comprehensive characterization of the visual system. Despite its popularity and significance in both basic rese...
متن کاملContrast sensitivity, healthy aging and noise
At least three studies have used external noise paradigms to investigate the cause of contrast sensitivity losses due to healthy aging. These studies have used noise that was spatiotemporally localized on the target. Yet, Allard and Cavanagh (2011) have recently shown that the processing strategy can change with localized noise thereby violating the noise-invariant processing assumption and com...
متن کاملComparison of the Internal Dynamics of Metalloproteases Provides New Insights on Their Function and Evolution
Metalloproteases have evolved in a vast number of biological systems, being one of the most diverse types of proteases and presenting a wide range of folds and catalytic metal ions. Given the increasing understanding of protein internal dynamics and its role in enzyme function, we are interested in assessing how the structural heterogeneity of metalloproteases translates into their dynamics. Th...
متن کاملEffect of size of attended area on contrast sensitivity function
Contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) were measured in the foveal region while subjects simultaneously performed an instantaneous judgment task, which was designed to maintain their attended areas at a constant size. Spatial attention was sustained over areas that were either narrow (Narrow condition) or broad (Broad condition). We observed that the sensitivity at higher frequencies (over 3 cpd...
متن کاملContrast sensitivity as a function of position on the retina.
Contrast sensitivity has been measured as a function of the eccentricity along several meridians. The measurements were carried out with a two-dimensional sinusoidal grating (cross grating) presented in a surround with a luminance equal to the average stimulus luminance. The advantage of this stimulus over a one-dimensional grating is that it permits presentation of small-sized stimuli. in a su...
