Perception
Sound
Absolute threshold
-
sounds over loudspeakers, remove listener from field
-
-
Non linearities
-
Two tone suppression
If CF played just above threshold, but then a second tone just above or below CF at higher level, then firing rate is reduced
Auditory nerve
-
Phase locked
most precise at low frequency, disappears above 4-5hz
-
-
-
Channel properties
-
spectral density held constant, so total noise power increased as bandwidth increased
-
assumes signal is detected by monitoring the output of a single auditory channel centred at the signal frequency
critical bandwidth: the point at which threshold reached asymptotic value: selectivity of the channel
at threshold: ratio fo signal power to masker power at the output of the auditory channel is constant
-
-
Pitch of complex tones
high CFs several harmonics interfere, complex waveforms but repeat at same rate as input.
-
-
-
-
-
gestalt
-
-
similarity
elements in an auditory or visual scene will be grouped and perceived as one object or sound if they are similar
-
-
-
-
-
closure
e.g. illusory contours (vision), phonemic/tone restoration effect (sound)
-
-
Depth and distance
-
-
-
ames room: perspective is a very important source of information and overrides knowledge about size of familiar objects.
-
-
-
maximum sensitivity for 3 cycles per degree corrugation frequency, motion parallax are higher
-
-
-
Motion
-
-
-
Second order
-
second order motion can be discriminated in blindsight without V1 so doesn't need to be feature based
-
-
Apparent motion in RDKs
-
Braddick: short range DMAX, long range: phi
Correspondence problem:
-
low pass filtering increases apparent size of clusters in images enabling match to be achieved over greater distances so dmax increases
-
V1 and MT
-
-
-
Saalman (1990) able to influence monkey perceptual decision by stimulating column of MT cells while performing tasks
-
Cortical pathway: slow motion with long latency, shape change/feature tracking
-
Colour
Trichromacy
-
-
-
Assymetries
-
genetic alterations of L and M common, S are not
-
Colour deficiencies associated with L and M are sex linked, but S cones not

Constancy
Phenomenal regression
If observer asked to choose an ellipse that matches the retinal image of a tilted circle, he will choose an ellipse that is too circular
if an observer is asked to choose an ellipse that matches the physical stimulus, he will choose an ellipse that is too flat.
Von Kries
-
At each location, these gains are set independently within each cone class
-
Ives
The multiplicative factors which transform the cone coordinates of an incandescent carbon illuminant to those of a reference illuminant also transform the coordinates of surfaces to approximately their coordinates under the reference illuminant.
-
-
Averaging over time
when test is illuminated with a different light to the background the colour is perceived correctly relative to the local illumination not background

Linear system
-
if you double input, you double output
can only output frequencies present in the input,non linear can add extra-frequency components.
