Abstract

Two experiments were run in order to test how information from different attributes is combined to localize contours. In Expt 1 the apparent position of a contour defined by one attribute was measured while a contour defined by another attribute was presented beside it. Interactions were found between all pairings of luminance, color, motion and texture. These results suggested that the information associated with each contour is integrated at a common site. In Expt 2 the precision of localization was measured for contours defined by one, two or three attributes (combinations of luminance, color and texture). The improvement in precision with additional attributes again supported an integration of contour information at a common site prior to a decision of localization.

Task constraints in visual working memory.

This paper examines the nature of visual representations that direct ongoing performance in sensorimotor tasks. Performance of such natural tasks requires relating visual information from different gaze positions. To explore this we used the technique of making task relevant display changes during saccadic eye movements. Subjects copied a pattern of colored blocks on a computer monitor, using the mouse to drag the blocks across the screen. Eye position was monitored using a dual-purkinje eye tracker, and the color of blocks in the pattern was changed at different points in task performance. When the target of the saccade changed color during the saccade, the duration of fixations on the model pattern increased, depending on the point in the task that the change was made. Thus different fixations on the same visual stimulus served a different purpose. The results also indicated that the visual information that is retained across successive fixations depends on moment by moment task demands. This is consistent with previous suggestions that visual representations are limited and task dependent. Changes in blocks in addition to the saccade target led to greater increases in fixation duration. This indicated that some global aspect of the pattern was retained across different fixations. Fixation durations revealed effects of the display changes that were not revealed in perceptual report. This can be understood by distinguishing between processes that operate at different levels of description and different time scales. Our conscious experience of the world may reflect events over a longer time scale than those underlying the substructure of the perceptuo-motor machinery.

Psychophysical evidence for boundary and surface systems in human vision.

Psychophysical evidence is given for the existence of two distinct systems in human vision: a fast, sign-invariant system concerned with extracting contours and a slower, sign-sensitive system concerned with assigning surface color. A class of stimuli we developed seems to selectively activate the fast, contour system. This stimulus is formed by adjacent fields of black and white spots, which flicker in counterphase at 15 Hz, on a uniform gray field. Although subjects can not discriminate the temporal phase relationship between the fields of spots, they can, nevertheless see a "Phantom Contour" separating the two indiscriminable fields. The surface characteristics (temporal phase relationship of the spots) can only be seen when the stimulus is significantly slower (flicker < 7 Hz). In addition, phantom contours disappear with equiluminant spots but can be seen with very low contrast spots (< 10% contrast), and are enhanced with peripheral viewing. Taken together, the results suggest that the fast contour-extracting system may be the magnocellular system or a magno-recipient area. Implications for a stimulus which could isolate a contour extracting system, or a magno-recipient area are discussed.

Motion edges and regions guide image segmentation by colour.

Image segmentation is an important early stage in visual processing in which the visual system groups together parts of the image that belong together, prior to or in conjunction with object recognition. Two principal processes may be involved in image segmentation: an edge-based process that uses feature contrasts to mark boundaries of coherent regions, and a region-based process that groups similar features over a larger scale. Earlier, we have shown that motion and colour interact strongly in image segmentation by the human visual system. Here we explore the nature of this interaction in terms of edge- and region-based processes. We measure performance on a region-based colour segmentation task in the presence of distinct types of motion information, in the form of edges and regions which in themselves do not reveal the location of the colour target. The results show that both motion edges and regions may guide the integrative process required for this colour segmentation task. Motion edges appear to act by delimiting areas over which to integrate colour information, whereas motion similarities define primitive surfaces within which colour grouping and segmentation processes are deployed.
