There has been some excitement lately in relating psychophysical properties of visual
sensitivity to neural mechanisms in the retina and in cerebral cortex. Parallel processing of …

Luminance was introduced by the CIE as a photometric analog of radiance. This implies that
an additive spectral-luminosity function characterizes the human observer. In practice, many …

It is an honor to review the 5th edition of omitted in the 5th edition. This may be con-Visual
Perception: A Clinical Orientation, sidered a shortcoming by some readers. It by Dr. Steven …

Centre–surround receptive field organization is a ubiquitous property in mammalian visual
systems, presumably tailored for extracting image features that are differentially distributed …

Abstract" Cognition through Color" reviews the current status of investigations of color
cognition from the standpoint of modern neuropsychology. It provides clear evidence, based …

Light Vision Color takes a well-balanced, interdisciplinary approach to our most important
sensory system. The book successfully combines basics in vision sciences with recent …

By opposing drifting luminance and color gratings, we have measured the “equivalent
luminance contrast” of color, the contribution that color makes to motion. We found that this …

Detection thresholds were obtained for a 2° Gaussian-blurred spot flashed for 200 ms on an
8.9° white adapting field of 1070 trolands. The spot's contrast was represented in an L-, M …

We have examined the accuracy of orientation and spatial-frequency discrimination for sine-
wave gratings that vary in either luminance or color. The equiluminant chromatic gratings …

The colors, textures, and shapes of shadows are physically constrained in several ways in
natural scenes. The visual system appears to ignore these constraints, however, and to …
