Abstract: | After observation of a stimulus composed of a top grating with large bar widths (low spatial frequency) and a bottom grating of narrow lines (high spatial frequency), a subsequently presented test grating of medium bar width appears to have a higher spatial frequency on the top half than on the bottom. Although this size aftereffect can be obtained dichoptically, this does not necessarily imply a central locus, since retinal input from the adapted eye could produce the effect. Ss were tested for the aftereffect in the adapted eye and for interocular transfer with and without pressure blinding the adapted eye. In this last condition, input from the adapted eye cannot reach the cortex. However, the aftereffect was equally present under all three conditions. This result suggests that size and frequency adaptation have a central locus. |
