Features of the second-order visual filters sensitive to the spatial frequency modulations
چکیده
We investigated selectivity of 2 nd order visual filters sensitive to the spatial frequency (SF) modulations to orientation and to SF of modulation. We carried out psychophysical experiment using masking paradigm. It was found that 2 nd order filters are selective to SF of modulation (with bandwidth +1.5 octaves), and do not show any selectivity to orientation of modulation. We suppose receptive fields of 2 nd order mechanisms have concentric form.
