Spatial-Frequency Masking in Vision: Critical Bands and Spread of Masking*

Stromeyer, Charles F., Julesz, Bela·1972·Journal of the Optical Society of America

Abstract

Vertical sinusoidal gratings were viewed in masking noise consisting of vertical stripes spread along the horizontal direction. Masking functions were obtained while varying the grating frequency relative to various one-octave-wide bands of noise. These functions closely resemble curves derived from previous experiments on adaptation to gratings. Masking was also measured as a function of the width of a band of noise centered on the grating frequency. Masking increased as the band was widened up to approximately ±1 octave; masking did not increase further when the band was widened beyond this range. The results demonstrate that a grating is masked only by noise whose spatial frequencies are similar to the grating frequency. The experiments provide further indication of the existence of channels in the visual system that are selectively tuned to different spatial frequencies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
