Two contrast adaptation processes: contrast normalization and shifting, rectifying contrast comparison.
We present psychophysical results demonstrating the interaction of two contrast adaptation processes in human vision: (1) A contrast-gain-control process of the normalization type and (2) a recently-discovered shifting, rectifying contrast-comparison process. Observers adapted (for 1 s) to a grid of Gabor patches at one contrast, then a brief (94 ms) test pattern was shown, and then the adapt p...
متن کاملAn unusual kind of contrast adaptation: shifting a contrast comparison level.
We have found an unusual kind of contrast adaptation in human pattern vision that seems fundamentally different from previously reported effects. As the observer adapts to different levels of contrast, the visibility of some contrast-defined (second-order) patterns dramatically increases and that of others dramatically decreases. Oddly, visibility is poor for patterns containing contrasts both ...
متن کاملContrast Normalization of Oligonucleotide Arrays
Affymetrix high-density oligonucleotide array is a tool that has the capacity to simultaneously measure the abundance of thousands of mRNA sequences in biological samples. In order to allow direct array-to-array comparisons, normalization is a necessity. When deciding on an appropriate normalization procedure there are a couple questions that need to be addressed, e.g., on which level should th...
متن کاملContrast normalization in colour vision: the effect of luminance contrast on colour contrast detection
While contrast normalization is well known to occur in luminance vision between overlaid achromatic contrasts, and in colour vision between overlaid colour contrasts, it is unknown whether it transfers between colour and luminance contrast. Here we investigate whether contrast detection in colour vision can be normalized by achromatic contrast, or whether this is a selective process driven only...
متن کاملImpairments of contrast discrimination and contrast adaptation in glaucoma.
PURPOSE Contrast detection is commonly measured clinically; however, discrimination between contrasts is also important for natural vision. Furthermore, optimal performance requires the visual system to adapt to ambient contrast conditions. Recent studies of primate neurophysiology demonstrate significant retinal involvement in contrast adaptation. This study was conducted to investigate whethe...
