Abstract
Understanding contrast transduction is essential for understanding spatial vision. Using standard 2AFC contrast discrimination experiments conducted using a carefully calibrated display we previously showed that the shape of the threshold versus (pedestal) contrast (TvC) curve changes with presentation time and the performance level defined as threshold (Wichmann, 1999; Wichmann Henning, 1999). Additional experiments looked at the change of the TvC curve with spatial frequency (Bird, Henning Wichmann, 2002), and at how to constrain the parameters of models of contrast processing (Wichmann, 2002).
Here I report modelling results both across spatial frequency and presentation time. An extensive model-selection exploration was performed using Bayesian confidence regions for the fitted parameters as well as cross-validation methods.
