✦ Synopsis
A computerized system for the collection of visual contrast sensitivity information from nonhuman primates is described. A systems analytical approach is presented in which modulation transfer functions are obtained that describe the spatial resolving power of the visual system. Sample data from humans including a transfer function are presented. Detailed descriptions of all facets of the experimental method are presented. Included are computer software summaries, an instrumentation description, stimulus caiibration and display procedures, a description of the psychophysical task, and a data summary. The general method has application to numerous animal psychophysical tasks in which titration schedules are used.
