Retinotopic sensitisation to spatial scale: Evidence for flexible spatial frequency processing in scene perception
Observers can use spatial scale information flexibly depending on categorisation task and on their prior sensitisation. Here, we explore whether attentional modulation of spatial frequency processing at early stages of visual analysis may be responsible. In three experiments, we find that observers' perception of spatial frequency (SF) band-limited scene stimuli is determined by the SF content ...
متن کاملFlexible Scale Use 1 Running head: FLEXIBLE SCALE USE IN SCENE PERCEPTION Top-down Attentional Modulation of Spatial Frequency Processing in Scene Perception
Recent evidence suggests that spatial frequency (SF) processing of simple and complex visual patterns is flexible. The use of spatial scale in scene perception seems to be influenced by people’s expectations. However as yet there is no direct evidence for top-down attentional effects on flexible scale use in scene perception. In two experiments we provide such evidence. We presented participant...
متن کاملThe neural bases of spatial frequency processing during scene perception
Theories on visual perception agree that scenes are processed in terms of spatial frequencies. Low spatial frequencies (LSF) carry coarse information whereas high spatial frequencies (HSF) carry fine details of the scene. However, how and where spatial frequencies are processed within the brain remain unresolved questions. The present review addresses these issues and aims to identify the cereb...
متن کاملRole of spatial frequency in rapid scene processing
Rapid processing of scenes has been shown to be facilitated by the processing of low spatial frequency (LSF) components before that of high spatial frequency (HSF) components. It has been been proposed that magnocellular pathways carrying low spatial frequencies provide an initial ‘gist’ of a scene, which is filled in using higher spatial frequencies along the the ventral stream. This study see...
متن کاملAge-Related Differences in Spatial Frequency Processing during Scene Categorization
Visual analysis of real-life scenes starts with the parallel extraction of different visual elementary features at different spatial frequencies. The global shape of the scene is mainly contained in low spatial frequencies (LSF), and the edges and borders of objects are mainly contained in high spatial frequencies (HSF). The present fMRI study investigates the effect of age on the spatial frequ...
