Modern psychophysical studies of sensory systems have produced new insight into sensory function and new techniques that have application to the clinical evaluation of taste. Most previous taste evaluation has been done with threshold measures that are subject to a variety of problems and that also fail to provide an accurate picture of suprathreshold ...

Unraveling brain interactions in vision: The example of crowding
Crowding, the impairment of target discrimination in clutter, is the standard situation in vision. Traditionally, crowding is explained with (feedforward) models, in which only neighboring elements interact, leading to a “bottleneck” at the earliest ...

Norwich’s Entropy Theory: how not to go from abstract to actual [PDF]
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to ask whether a first-order-cybernetics concept, Shannon’s Information Theory, actually allows a far-reaching mathematics of perception allegedly derived from it, Norwich et al.’s “Entropy Theory of Perception”.

Visual Aftereffect Of Texture Density Contingent On Color Of Frame [PDF]
An aftereffect of perceived texture density contingent on the color of a surrounding region is reported. In a series of experiments, participants were adapted, with fixation, to stimuli in which the relative density of two achromatic texture regions was ...

The psychophysics of imagery [PDF]
A series of experiments considers the extent to which the interrelations among subjective magnitudes aroused by images corresponds to those for subjective magnitudes aroused by physical stimuli. In Experiment 1, 68 undergraduates typed phrases in response to graded categories regarding the imagined magnitude of lights, sounds, and smells. In Experiment

Sensory Measurements: Coordination and Standardization [PDF]
Do sensory measurements deserve the label of “measurement”? We argue that they do. They fit with an epistemological view of measurement held in current philosophy of science, and they face the same kinds of epistemological challenges as physical ...

When are abrupt onsets found efficiently in complex visual search? : evidence from multi-element asynchronous dynamic search [PDF]
Previous work has found that search principles derived from simple visual search tasks do not necessarily apply to more complex search tasks. Using a Multielement Asynchronous Dynamic (MAD) visual search task, in which high numbers of stimuli could ...

Who Is the Founder of Psychophysics and Experimental Psychology?
The study is an investigation of the origins of psychophysics and experimental psychology. According to historians of psychology, Francis Bacon had the most crucial influence in the history of the experimental method, because he emphasized the importance
