Summation and discrimination of gratings moving in opposite directions

We have measured the amount of summation occurring at threshold between gratings which move in opposite directions. The small amount of summation observed at low spatial and high temporal frequencies is approximately consistent with the action of direction-selective mechanisms, as proposed by Levins...

description We have measured the amount of summation occurring at threshold between gratings which move in opposite directions. The small amount of summation observed at low spatial and high temporal frequencies is approximately consistent with the action of direction-selective mechanisms, as proposed by Levinson and Sekuler (1975), provided that probability summation between such mechanisms is taken into account. However, at high spatial and low temporal frequencies much more summation is found, an amount approximately consistent with detection by directionally non-selective mechanisms. We have also measured thresholds for identifying the direction of a moving grating. For those gratings which show little summation, direction of motion is judged correctly at the detection threshold, while for those gratings which show the most summation, the identification threshold is considerably above the detection threshold.
