Abstract

We sought to determine whether or not motion-from-texture mechanisms have access to monocular input. Adopting a strategy used by Kolb and Braun (1995. Nature, 377, 336-338), we created drifting textures that were invisible to purely binocular processes. Monocular signals readily conveyed motions defined by local orientation and flicker. However, when left- and right-eye signals were displayed simultaneously, only flicker motion was visible. We conclude that motion-from-texture mechanisms do not have access to monocular input. Further evidence suggests that motion from texture involves attentional tracking.

Deriving behavioural receptive fields for visually completed contours.

The visual system is constantly faced with the problem of identifying partially occluded objects from incomplete images cast on the retinae. Phenomenologically, the visual system seems to fill in missing information by interpolating illusory and occluded contours at points of occlusion, so that we perceive complete objects. Previous behavioural [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] and physiological [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] studies suggest that the visual system treats illusory and occluded contours like luminance-defined contours in many respects. None of these studies has, however, directly shown that illusory and occluded contours are actually used to perform perceptual tasks. Here, we use a response-classification technique [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] to answer this question directly. This technique provides pictorial representations - 'classification images' - that show which parts of a stimulus observers use to make perceptual decisions, effectively deriving behavioural receptive fields. Here we show that illusory and occluded contours appear in observers' classification images, providing the first direct evidence that observers use perceptually interpolated contours to recognize objects. These results offer a compelling demonstration of how visual processing acts on completed representations, and illustrate a powerful new technique for constraining models of visual completion.

Haptic detection thresholds of Gaussian profiles over the whole range of spatial scales.

In the literature only a small subset of the broad range of scales of human haptic perception has been explored. In this experiment, haptic detection thresholds have been investigated over a wide range of spatial scales. Computer-controlled manufacturing techniques have made it possible to produce stimuli with sufficient accuracy to explore the gamut of haptic scales. We used stimuli with a convex or concave Gaussian-shaped profile running over the middle of a strip. The width of the Gaussian profile was varied between 150 microns and 240 mm. In this range of spatial scales a number of mechanisms, ranging from cutaneous mechanoreception to proprioception in fingers, arm and shoulder, contribute to haptic perception. The discrimination threshold between a flat surface and a Gaussian surface was investigated in a series of two alternative forced choice experiments on human subjects. The thresholds run from 1 micron for the narrowest Gaussian profiles to 8 mm for the broadest profile. The same thresholds were found for convex and concave shapes. Over the range of spatial scales, from 1 mm width on, the dependence of the detection threshold on the spatial width of the Gaussian profile was found to be a power function with an exponent of about 1.3.

Brain regions involved in spatial frequency discrimination: evidence from fMRI.

The cortical areas underlying successive spatial-frequency discrimination were explored using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In a steady-state, block-design paradigm, 12 subjects viewed a single fixation cross during a rest period, followed by an activation period consisting of the presentation of horizontal (distractors) and vertical (targets) sinewave gratings. Two tasks were performed: in the control task, subjects pressed a button after the second vertical grating was presented within each trial; in the discrimination task, subjects decided which target grating had the higher spatial frequency. Post-processing consisted of off-line image registration to correct for head motion, spatial and temporal smoothing, and cross-correlation between each voxel time course and a phase-shifted stimulus time profile. The results indicate that striate, extrastriate, parietal, and prefrontal areas show significant BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) effects during both discrimination and control tasks, with consistently higher activity levels in the discrimination task.
