Apparent contrast of spatially and temporally sampled gratings

Abstract:
We have measured the apparent contrast of spatially and temporally sampled gratings having the spatial frequency of 2, 4 and 8 c/deg. A contrast matching task was used in two different sampling conditions which allowed us to stimulate selectively the sustained and transient mechanisms in spatial and temporal vision. The results demonstrate the visual interpolation characteristics in the two domains and suggest a better response linearity for spatial than for temporal interpolation. The strongest nonlinear responses were obtained for temporally sampled medium spatial frequency gratings, suggesting separate temporal processing mechanisms for medium and high spatial frequencies
