We examined contrast sensitivity and suprathreshold apparent contrast with natural images.
The spatial-frequency components within single octaves of the images were removed (notch …

The human visual system shows a relatively greater response to low spatial frequencies of
chromatic spatial modulation than to luminance spatial modulation [1]. However, previous …

Foley [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 11 (1994) 1710] has proposed an influential psychophysical model
of masking in which mask components in a contrast gain pool are raised to an exponent …

As computer generated virtual humans become ubiquitous in many areas such as virtual
agents, avatars in virtual worlds, and characters in games, these create strong demands for …

What is the role of the representation and processing of the sensory environment in primary
cortical fields? How do the principles underlying sensory processing differ among cortical …

When using synthetic imagery it is essential that it is fit for purpose. Imagery can be rendered
at different levels of quality, depending on application. For example, when using a real-time …

This chapter summarizes recent findings about plastic changes in adult early sensory and
motor cortices. We discuss mechanisms leading to enduring changes of synaptic efficacy …

This research developed a theory and mathematical model explaining the variation in
observers' visual search performance that can be attributed to computable properties of the …

A key objective in the field of visualization is to design and implement algorithms to
effectively convey scientific data through images so that the essential features of the data …
