Orientation perception anisotropies indicate functional segregation within the color system.
When stimuli are luminance-defined, the visual system is known to prefer those that are radially oriented with respect to the point of fixation over tangentially oriented ones (the radial bias effect). In two contrast detection experiments and an orientation discrimination experiment, we investigated whether the radial bias effect also exists for chromatic stimuli. The contrast detection experi...
متن کاملDirectional Anisotropies Reveal a Functional Segregation of Visual Motion Processing for Perception and Action
Human exhibits an anisotropy in direction perception: discrimination is superior when motion is around horizontal or vertical rather than diagonal axes. In contrast to the consistent directional anisotropy in perception, we found only small idiosyncratic anisotropies in smooth pursuit eye movements, a motor action requiring accurate discrimination of visual motion direction. Both pursuit and pe...
متن کاملAttentional modulation interacts with orientation anisotropies in contrast perception.
Orientation perception is not comparable across all orientations-a phenomenon commonly referred to as the oblique effect. Here, we first assessed the interaction between stimulus contrast and the oblique effect. Specifically, we examined whether the impairment in behavioral performance for oblique versus cardinal orientations is best explained by a contrast or a response gain modulation of the ...
متن کاملInteractions between color and luminance in the perception of orientation.
At the early stages of visual processing in humans and other primates, chromatic signals are carried to primary visual cortex (V1) via two chromatic channels and a third achromatic (luminance) channel. The sensitivities of the channels define the three cardinal axes of color space. A long-standing though controversial hypothesis is that the cortical pathways for color and form perception mainta...
متن کاملAnisotropies in the perception of stereoscopic surfaces: the role of orientation disparity.
We measured stereoscopic slant detection thresholds for surfaces slanting about a horizontal or a vertical axis. For random-dot covered surfaces, 1.25 deg of slant was required to detect slant about a horizontal axis, whereas 2.1 deg of slant was required to detect slant about a vertical axis. This anisotropy could be due to the fact that orientation disparities, which contain information about...
