Part 1: Waves & Fourier Analysis
1. The cycles of waves can be described by four features, or “parameters”.
2. These are Frequency, Amplitude, Phase, and Orientation.
3. A helpful acronym is F.A.P.O..
4. Let’s see examples of how each parameter…

According to Fourier, we should be able toconstruct a square wave stimulus
(or any other stimulus), by combining sine waves of the correct
F.A.P.O..

A square wave can be built from componentsine waves, if the sine waves all have the same phase.
What happens if you introduce a phase shift(say 180 degrees or a half cycle)?

Let’s take a very close look atthe square wave and triangle wave,
side-by-side….
Part 1: Waves & Fourier Analysis
![Page 27: Outline Of Today’s Discussion 1.Review of Wave Properties, and Fourier Analysis 2.The Contrast Sensitivity Function 3.Metamers 4.Selective Adaptation And](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b627f8b9ab0599ae0a6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
SquareWave
TriangleWave
Note the slightdifferences instarting phase(in red circles)
The phasedifferenceshould be180 deg,but the schematicshows a90 deg difference(quartercycle ratherthan a half cycle).Sorry about That.
![Page 28: Outline Of Today’s Discussion 1.Review of Wave Properties, and Fourier Analysis 2.The Contrast Sensitivity Function 3.Metamers 4.Selective Adaptation And](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b627f8b9ab0599ae0a6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
By shifting the components 180 degrees,a different image is produced, namely,a triangle wave (not a square wave).
So, Phase Matters!

Part 1: Waves & Fourier Analysis
1. Different spatial frequencies specify how light is distributed at various spatial scales.
2. Low spatial frequencies specify the most global spatial scales (i.e., ground versus sky). “Low pass” images appear blury, and lack fine detail.
3. High spatial frequencies specify the finest spatial scales. “High pass” images appear as outlines, showing the boarders between objects.
4. Intermediate spatial frequencies specify information at scales between the two extremes.

Visual neurons respond best when the size (SF) of the stimulus matches
the size (SF) of the receptive field.
Stimulus “b” is the best match here.

Part 1: Waves & Fourier Analysis
1. In principle, the visual system could respond in two ways to the retinal image.
2. One possibility is that the visual system responds to the Fourier components (i.e., a spatial-frequency analysis).
3. Another possibility is that the visual system responds to the point-by-point distribution of light.
4. Either way is a an acceptable PHYSICAL description of the stimulus. Let’s see an example of a point-by-point stimulus description….

Because the human CSF differsfrom the cat CSF,
stimuli that are “metameric”for cats are not metameric
for humans (and vice versa).

As an example, the following photos look different to you,
but would appear indistinguishable to a cat.

Part 3: MetamersNow, let’s change the
spatial frequency content.
Specifically, let’s increasethe SF of both stimuli until
the difference between themfalls outside our “window of visibility”,
making them metameric.

These Differ In Frequency
Low Spatial FrequencyFat Bars:
Few Cycles Per DegreeC.P.D.
High Spatial FrequencyThin Bars:
Many Cycles Per DegreeC.P.D.

Essentially, we just “moved” the Cat stimulifrom left to right in the frequency domain,
making differences invisible at the highest frequencies.

Part 3: MetamersThe artist Charles (Chuck) Close
takes advantage of the humanCSF in his art.
His art looks one way at one scale (SF),and very different at a another scale (SF).

Part 4
Selective Adaptation
And
The Size Aftereffect
![Page 65: Outline Of Today’s Discussion 1.Review of Wave Properties, and Fourier Analysis 2.The Contrast Sensitivity Function 3.Metamers 4.Selective Adaptation And](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b627f8b9ab0599ae0a6/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Selective Adaptation:
After adapting to a single SF,contrast sensitivity is reduced
at or near that SF,but NOT elsewhere.
This creates a “notch” in the CSF.
![Page 66: Outline Of Today’s Discussion 1.Review of Wave Properties, and Fourier Analysis 2.The Contrast Sensitivity Function 3.Metamers 4.Selective Adaptation And](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b627f8b9ab0599ae0a6/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Selective Adaptation and the CSF
![Page 67: Outline Of Today’s Discussion 1.Review of Wave Properties, and Fourier Analysis 2.The Contrast Sensitivity Function 3.Metamers 4.Selective Adaptation And](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b627f8b9ab0599ae0a6/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
The Size Aftereffect:
The size aftereffect is conceptuallysimilar to the tilt aftereffect.
There is an illusion of size (rather than orientation)
after adaptation to a single spatial frequency.
![Page 68: Outline Of Today’s Discussion 1.Review of Wave Properties, and Fourier Analysis 2.The Contrast Sensitivity Function 3.Metamers 4.Selective Adaptation And](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b627f8b9ab0599ae0a6/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
The Size Aftereffect: Pre-Adaptation
![Page 69: Outline Of Today’s Discussion 1.Review of Wave Properties, and Fourier Analysis 2.The Contrast Sensitivity Function 3.Metamers 4.Selective Adaptation And](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b627f8b9ab0599ae0a6/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
The Size Aftereffect:
Now, have the subject adaptto a (low) spatial frequency
at or near “A”.

The Size Aftereffect: Post-Adaptation
![Page 71: Outline Of Today’s Discussion 1.Review of Wave Properties, and Fourier Analysis 2.The Contrast Sensitivity Function 3.Metamers 4.Selective Adaptation And](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b627f8b9ab0599ae0a6/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
The Size Aftereffect: Before & After Adaptation
Notethehigherfrequency
![Page 72: Outline Of Today’s Discussion 1.Review of Wave Properties, and Fourier Analysis 2.The Contrast Sensitivity Function 3.Metamers 4.Selective Adaptation And](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b627f8b9ab0599ae0a6/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
The Size Aftereffect:
Like the tilt aftereffect (an illusion of orientation),the size aftereffect arises from and adaptation-induced bias
in the POPULATION’S response.
![Page 73: Outline Of Today’s Discussion 1.Review of Wave Properties, and Fourier Analysis 2.The Contrast Sensitivity Function 3.Metamers 4.Selective Adaptation And](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b627f8b9ab0599ae0a6/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
So, you can “fatigue” an orientation column,or a spatial frequency column!
