Abstract

Six experiments investigated the preattentive segregation of line-like patterns composed of discrete elements in a background of distractors. The results indicate that other factors in addition to spatial density influence line segregation. Edge alignment, edge length and principal axis orientation also affect line segregation. Differences in the outputs of Gabor filters fail to account for the perceived segregation of the lines. Possible models of line segregation based on element grouping, feature density and search are briefly discussed.

High temporal frequency synchrony is insufficient for perceptual grouping.

We used textures of randomly moving grating patches to assess the role of fine-grain temporal synchrony in texture segregation. In the target area, patches reversed direction simultaneously. In the surround, patches changed direction at random times. Thus, phase changes in the target area were precisely synchronous, whereas those in the surround were not. In agreement with work carried out by Lee and Blake, we found that the target area was frequently visible, and that observers could discriminate its shape (horizontal versus vertical) at frame rates of 100 Hz in brief exposures (200 ms). Further experiments suggested that the length of unidirectional motion sequences in the target area, rather than synchrony, determined its visibility. To eliminate completely contrast and motion cues, we made all the background elements identical to the target elements, but with a random starting phase. Despite the presence of synchrony in the target area but not the background, the target was generally very hard to see. Targets that remained visible contained low temporal frequency modulations of direction. We conclude that the human observer can detect synchrony, but only at modest temporal frequencies once motion and contrast artefacts have been eliminated.

Effect of spatial waveform on apparent spatial frequency.

We examined the effect of spatial waveform on the perceived spatial frequency of a grating target. The luminance profile of 0.5 c/ degrees sinusoidal gratings was modified by either compressive or expansive power functions, and was presented alternately with a true sinusoidal grating. Subjects matched the apparent spatial frequency of the two gratings using a method of adjustment. Both compressive and expansive power functions lowered the perceived spatial frequency of the grating, irrespective of the stimulus contrast. Rectified sine wave gratings were also found to reduce apparent spatial frequency. The magnitude of the spatial frequency shifts with spatial waveform diminished with successive matches, which may represent a change in matching strategy employed by observers. Calculations and a further experiment suggest that judgements of spatial frequency may in part be determined by the separation between edges in a grating.

Improving the effectiveness of the infant contrast sensitivity card procedure.

Based on results from an earlier prototype, custom software and printing techniques were developed to construct a new card-based test of contrast sensitivity (CS) for nonverbal subjects. Compared with the prototype, the new CS card test contains three improvements: (1) larger, more salient test gratings; (2) higher contrast warm-up cards for each spatial frequency set; and (3) smaller contrast step size between adjacent cards. The success of the new cards was evaluated by testing 3.5- and 12-month-old human infants. Results indicated that the new version of the test required little time to complete (mean, 6.5 min) and provided accurate estimates of visual acuity. Also, group contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) showed substantial development from 3.5 to 12 months of age. Surprisingly, however, group CSFs obtained with the new cards were lower than those obtained with the prototype, a discrepancy that may be due to differences in space average luminance between the two sets of cards. In all, the new CS card procedure possesses several merits that give it potential as an option for assessing spatial vision in infants, toddlers, and subjects with multiple impairments.
