Contrast threshold and perceived orientation of a line segment were measured when another line segment was simultaneously presented either to the same or the other eye; the angle between the two line segments was varied. The presence of the masking line elevated the contrast threshold under both con

A vertical test line viewed together with an oblique inducing line appears to be tilted in the opposite direction (orientation contrast); a similar effect results from adapting to an oblique line before presenting the test line (tilt after-effect). The error in perceived orientation caused by a cloc
In psychophyscial experiments the bright-dark contrast effects observed in a steady test-field were measured as a function of the temporal frequency of an inducing-field modulated symmetrically about the test-field luminance. The frequency-contrast functions obtained from these measurements were int
Threshold elevation in the periphery of the visual field as a consequence of repetitive stimulation can be abolished by stimulating a mirror-symmetric position in the contralateral visual half-field. A patient suffering from a congenital malformation of the right superior colliculus did not exhibit
