Visual adaptation to goal-directed hand actions.

30 Aug 2009 Prolonged exposure to visual stimuli, or adaptation, often results in an adaptation "aftereffect" which can profoundly distort our perception of subsequent visual stimuli. This technique has been commonly used to investigate mechanisms underlying ... Read more...

A model of encoding and decoding in V1 and MT accounts for motion perception anisotropies in the human visual system.

28 Jul 2009 We used the motion aftereffect (MAE) to psychophysically characterize tuning of motion perception in the human visual system. The function relating MAE strength and the range of directions present in the adapter stimulus provides information ... Read more...

The role of higher level adaptive coding mechanisms in the development of face recognition.

21 Jun 2009 Developmental improvements in face identity recognition ability are widely documented, but the source of children's immaturity in face recognition remains unclear. Differences in the way in which children and adults visually represent faces might ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Figural Aftereffect'

Definition: A perceptual phenomenon used by Gestalt psychologists to demonstrate that events in one part of the perceptual field may affect perception in another part.

Descriptor UI: D005366

Alternative terms: Figural Aftereffect; Aftereffect, Figural; Aftereffects, Figural; Figural Aftereffects;

Allowable Qualifiers: classification; drug effects; physiology; radiation effects; ethics; genetics;

Tree Number: F02.463.593.932.401; G14.360;

Technical Notes: usually involves displacement of afterimage of geometric pattern in shape & space: differentiate from AFTERIMAGE; while both are in the field of perception, AFTERIMAGE is likely to be in ophthalmol jrnls, FIGURAL AFTEREFFECT, in psychol jrnls
