What is simultaneous brightness contrast?
When two areas of the same brightness appear to have different brightness' dependent on their backgrounds
When two areas of different brightness appear to have the same brightness dependent on their background
When two areas of the same brightness appear to be the same brightness dependent on their backgrounds
When two areas of different brightness appear to have different brightness' dependent on their backgrounds
What is the mechanism that controlls simultaneous brightness contract called?
Lateral inhibition
Simultaneous inhibition
Lateral facilitation
Simultaneous facilitation
What is an on center, off surround ganglion receptive field?
Increased brightness creates a stronger response when this is within the on center, but creates a stronger inhibitory response when within the off surround
Decreased brightness creates a stronger response when this is within the on center, but creates a stronger inhibitory response when within the off surround
Decreased brightness creates a stronger inhibitory response when this is within the on center, but creates a stronger response when within the off surround
Increased brightness creates a stronger inhibitory response when this is within the on center, but creates a stronger response when within the off surround
How are match bands affected by lateral inhibition?
A uniform grey going from dark to light appears to have brighter bars separating it
A set of grey bars going from light to dark, separated by lighter bars appear to be a uniform grey
When looking at the lighter bands there appears to be a grey dot in the intersection
The contrast within a uniform grey appears unchanged
(a) What is the Hermann or Hering grid illusion? and how is this affected by lateral inhibition?
Black squares spaced apart on a white background, grey dots will be perceived in the intersections
White squares spaced apart on a black background, grey dots will be perceived in the intersections
Black squares spaced apart on a white background, grey dots will be perceived in the square centers
White squares spaced apart on a black background, grey dots will be perceived in the square centers
Why does lateral inhibition happen, function?
Perception only cares about the contrast (edges) and properties that help determine edges, not the retinal image
Perception does not care about the contrast (edges) and properties that help determine edges, only the retinal image
Perception cares about both the contrast (edges) and properties that help determine edges, and the retinal image
Perception only cares about neither the contrast (edges) and properties that help determine edges, or the retinal image
