Channel selection with non-white-noise masks

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

It is frequently assumed that the accuracy with which luminance gratings can be detected depends solely on the signal-to-noise ratio at the output of a single linear channel. Proportionality between threshold elevation and power spectral density is implicit in this assumption. I demonstrate that this proportionality does not hold for 1-cycle/degree gratings masked by low-pass noise with a 0.5-cycle/degree cutoff frequency. This implies that different channels can mediate detection, depending on the contrast of masking stimuli.
