Visual Temporal Filtering and Intermittent Visual Displays.

Abstract

The initial objective of this project was to investigate the relation between the emporal filtering properties of visual neurons and the performance of human observers when they view intermittent visual displays, e.g. video screens. The scope of the project was reduces by the support level set by AFOSR to focus just on human observers and to omit any experiments on neurons in experimental animals. Specific aims of the project initially included the design and fabrication of a variable-raster-rate electro-optic display, and the use of this novel device to measure the contrast sensitivity function at different raster rates. These two specific aims have been reached and are described in the full report.
