Spatial-Temporal Visible Contrast Energy Predictions Of Detection Thresholds, Albert Ahumada, Andrew B. Watson, Jihyun Yeonan-Kim
MODVIS Workshop
The Barten (1994) spatial-temporal model was used to predict the Gabor stimulus contrast energy thresholds reported by Carney et al. (2013). The RMS error of fit was 1.6 dB, corrected for the number of parameters (6) estimated. The model has two lowpass spatial-temporal channels, combined by inhibition as in our spatial models (Watson & Ahumada, 2005; Ahumada & Watson, 2013). Computation of models predictions were greatly simplified by the spatial-temporal separability of the stimuli and the simplifications that result from using Gaussian filters in the spatial domain. The best fitting spatial filter frequency cutoffs are 11.4 and 0.88 cpd. The …
