  • To enable contrast control for both Maxwellian-view and projection screen displays.

Main Methods:

  • Employing high-frequency oscillatory displacement of the grating image.
  • Generating a controlled smearing of the image on the observer's retina.
  • Utilizing specific displacement waveforms and amplitudes to determine contrast.

Main Results:

  • Successfully modulated contrast in grating stimuli.
