Spatial vision of the achromat: spatial frequency and orientation-specific adaptation.
1. The psychophysical technique of selective adaptation to stationary sine-wave gratings of varying spatial frequency and orientation was used to investigate the central processing of spatial information in the visual system of the complete achromat. 2. For adapting spatial frequencies of 1 and 2 cycles/deg, the spatial frequency and orientation selectivity of contrast threshold elevation is si...
متن کاملSecond-order spatial frequency and orientation channels in human vision
We compared the number of spatial frequency and orientation mechanisms underlying first- versus second-order processing by measuring discrimination at detection threshold for first- and second-order Gabors to determine the smallest difference in spatial frequency and orientation that permits accurate discrimination at threshold. For second-order gratings, the number of channels is the same as f...
متن کاملLow spatial-frequency channels in human vision: adaptation and masking.
Previous work showed that adapting to low spatial frequency gratings (below 1.5 cycles/degree) may cause maximal spatial adaptation at a significantly higher spatial frequency. It has been suggested that there are no adaptable spatial-frequency channels tuned to below 1.5 c/deg. Contrary to this view, we found that adaptation and masking with low spatial frequencies (0.12-1.0 c/deg) produced ma...
متن کاملSpatial Memory and Spatial Orientation
Navigating through a remembered space depends critically on the ability to stay oriented with respect to the remembered environment and to reorient after becoming lost. This chapter describes the roles of long-term spatial memory, sensorimotor spatial memory, and path integration in determining spatial orientation. Experiments presented here highlight the reference direction structure of long-t...
متن کاملRepresentation of spatial frequency and orientation in the visual cortex.
Knowledge of the response of the primary visual cortex to the various spatial frequencies and orientations in the visual scene should help us understand the principles by which the brain recognizes patterns. Current information about the cortical layout of spatial frequency response is still incomplete because of difficulties in recording and interpreting adequate data. Here, we report results ...
