Von Bezold assimilation effect reverses in stereoscopic conditions [PDF]
Lightness contrast and lightness assimilation are opposite phenomena: in contrast, grey targets appear darker when bordering bright surfaces (inducers) rather than dark ones; in assimilation, the opposite occurs.

Crowdsourcing visual perception experiments: a case of contrast threshold [PDF]
Crowdsourcing has commonly been used for psychological research but not for studies on sensory perception. A reason is that in online experiments, one cannot ensure that the rigorous settings required for the experimental environment are replicated.

A biologically inspired computational vision front-end based on a self-organised pseudo-randomly tessellated artificial retina [PDF]
This paper considers the construction of a biologically inspired front-end for computer vision based on an artificial retina pyramid with a self-organised pseudo-randomly tessellated receptive field tessellation.

A note concerning the relationship between the Adelson’s Argyle illusion and Cornsweet edges [PDF]
Adelson’s Argyle illusion and the Craik-O’Brien-Cornsweet illusion are two noteworthy brightness illusions. In the Argyle illusion two identical gray areas are perceived to have radically different brightness levels when they are surrounded by a

A spatial contrast retina with on-chip calibration for neuromorphic spike-based AER vision systems [PDF]
We present a 32 32 pixels contrast retina microchip that provides its output as an address event representation (AER) stream. Spatial contrast is computed as the ratio between pixel photocurrent and a local average between neighboring pixels obtained ...

Achromatic Cues Are Important for Flower Visibility to Hawkmoths and Other Insects
Studies on animal colour vision typically focus on the chromatic aspect of colour, which is related to the spectral distribution, and disregard the achromatic aspect, which is related to the intensity (“brightness”) of a stimulus.

The aim of this study was to measure visual contrast sensitivity (CS) of luminance using vertical sinusoidal gratings with spatial frequencies of 0.6, 2.5, 5.0 and 20.0 cycles per degree of visual angle in chronic alcoholics in abstinence period.

Trail Making Test performance contributes to subjective judgment of visual efficiency in older adults [PDF]
Introduction: The determinant factors that influence self-reported quality of vision have yet to be fully elucidated. This study evaluated a range of contextual information, established psychophysical tests, and in particular, a series of cognitive tests

Harmonizing motion and contrast vision for robust looming detection
This paper presents a novel neural model of insect’s visual perception paradigm to address a challenging problem on detection of looming motion, particularly in extremely low-contrast, and highly variable natural scenes.
