Abstract

The use of cathode-ray-tube monitors is widespread in the vision science community. The temporal response of these displays is, however, known to vary with the frame rate selected. No previous study has investigated if variations in frame rate impacts upon the temporal processing of spatially identical stimuli. In this study we found the upper limit of complete temporal summation for an achromatic spot stimulus to be greater at 60Hz compared with a frame rate of 160Hz when visual thresholds were classified using luminance output. No such variation was found when a novel metric quantifying total energy output was used. This finding has significant implications for the accurate quantification of visual thresholds collected using display monitors used in visual psychophysics investigations.
当测量视觉的时间方面时,亮度与能量作为CRT刺激输出描述符的适当性
阴极射线管监视器的使用在视觉科学界是广泛的。然而,已知这些显示器的时间响应随所选择的帧速率而变化。以前没有研究调查过帧率的变化是否会影响空间相同刺激的时间处理。在这项研究中,我们发现,当使用亮度输出对视觉阈值进行分类时,与帧率为160Hz的视觉阈值相比,60Hz的消色斑刺激的完全时间总和的上限更大。当使用一种量化总能量输出的新度量时,没有发现这种变化。这一发现对视觉心理物理学研究中使用的显示器收集的视觉阈值的准确量化具有重要意义。
