lengths. Fur thermore , Schultz et al. , using artificial membranes with uniformly defined pores, found that for similar Stokes radius the globular proteins have larger reflection coefficients than those of the dextran fractions. Thus, in my opinion, it is erroneous to use the Stokes radius of dextran fractions to correlate the pore size of membranes. Miguel F. Refojo Eye Research Institute Boston, Mass.

Area summation in human vision at and above detection threshold
The initial image-processing stages of visual cortex are well suited to a local (patchwise) analysis of the viewed scene. But the world's structures extend over space as textures and surfaces, suggesting the need for spatial integration. Most models of contrast vision fall shy of this process because (i) the weak area summation at detection threshold is attributed to probability summation (PS) ...
متن کاملElongated physiological summation pools in the human visual cortex1Preliminary results were reported at the 1996 Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience: [50].1
The visibility of gratings improves with increasing stimulus area. This effect is usually interpreted as being due to probability summation between the outputs of linear, independent spatial filters, although non-linear spatial summation can have similar effects [1]. In order to distinguish between probabilistic and physiological summation models, we measured contrast thresholds using the Visua...

The effect of aging on spatial suppression Lindsay E. Farber Doctor of Philosophy Neuroscience Graduate Program McMaster University 2015 The research discussed here examines how normal healthy aging affects spatial suppressive mechanisms in a variety of visual tasks using both static and dynamic stimuli. Prior research has suggested that younger adults demonstrate a center-surround antagonistic...
متن کاملDetermining Spatial Summation and Its Effect on Contrast Sensitivity across the Central 20 Degrees of Visual Field
PURPOSE Recent studies propose that the use of target stimuli within or close to complete spatial summation reveal larger threshold elevation in ocular disease. The Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer (HFA) is used to assess visual function yet the spatial summation characteristics are unexplored for the central macular region. We therefore wanted to establish the relationship between contrast sensi...
متن کاملProperties of second-order spatial frequency channels
The segregation of texture patterns may be carried out by a set of linear spatial filters (to enhance one of the constituent textures), a nonlinearity (to convert the higher contrast of response to that constituent to a higher mean response), and finally subsequent ("second-order") linear spatial filters (to provide a strong response to the texture-defined edge itself). In this paper, the prope...
