The effects of surround contrast on contrast thresholds, perceived contrast and contrast discrimination
Perceived contrast, contrast detection thresholds and contrast discrimination thresholds were measured in the presence and absence of surrounding patterns of a similar spatio-temporal makeup. In the foveal retina we found that the perceived contrast of the central pattern was reduced by the presence of the contrast surrounds with the effect being greatest at low test contrast. Detection thresho...
متن کاملAging alters surround modulation of perceived contrast.
It is well established that many visual functions deteriorate with age. Perhaps counter-intuitively, a recent study revealed that older people actually require less time to discriminate the direction of motion of large, high contrast moving stimuli than young adults (L. R. Betts, C. P. Taylor, A. B. Sekuler, & P. J. Bennett, 2005). L. R. Betts et al. (2005) proposed their finding as evidence fo...
متن کاملThe effects of contrast on perceived depth and depth discrimination
The contrast dependence of perceived depth was quantified through a series of depth matching experiments. Perceived depth was found to be a power law function of contrast. In addition, subjects exhibited a large uncrossed depth bias indicating that low contrast test patterns appeared much farther away than high contrast patterns of equal disparity. For disparities in the range of +/- 4.0 arc mi...
متن کاملMeasuring the Relationship between Perceived Image Contrast and Surround Illumination
While an image’s relative surround luminance increases from dark to light, the perceived contrast of the image will increase. For this reason, projected transparencies are made with higher physical contrast than reflection prints, which are intended to be viewed in an illuminated environment. Previous research shows that the surround effect is important for color appearance and device-independe...
متن کاملModeling grating contrast discrimination dippers: The role of surround suppression.
We consider the role of nonlinear inhibition in physiologically realistic multineuronal models of V1 to predict the dipper functions from contrast discrimination experiments with sinusoidal gratings of different geometries. The dip in dipper functions has been attributed to an expansive transducer function, which itself is attributed to two nonlinear inhibitory mechanisms: contrast normalizatio...
