Abstract: | Moving phantom visibility was measured for subjects with a fundus classified as either lightly or darkly pigmented. The phantom-inducing pattern was a black-and-white square-wave grating drifting continuously from left to right, with a black horizontal occluder interrupting the middle of the grating. Moving phantom visibility was significantly reduced for darker relative to lighter pigmented subjects. The results show that fundus pigmentation can influence the perception of illusory contours and surfaces (i.e., phantoms). This finding supports and expands on previous research concerning fundus pigmentation influences on real contour perception. |
