This article describes a novel kernel for CSF estimation that is more flexible than a kernel based on strictly functional forms. Despite being more flexible, it can result in a more efficient estimator. Further, trial selection for data acquisition that is generalized beyond pure information gain can also improve estimator quality.

In this investigation, we aimed to illuminate the relationship between attention and eccentricity in the visual periphery by estimating perceptual sensitivity, metacognitive sensitivity, and response biases across the visual field. In a 2AFC detection task, participants were asked to determine whether a signal was present or absent at one of eight peripheral locations (±10°, 20°, 30°, and 40°), using either a valid or invalid attentional cue. As expected, results revealed that perceptual sensitivity declined with eccentricity and was modulated by attention, with higher sensitivity on validly cued trials. Furthermore, a significant main effect of eccentricity on response bias emerged, with variable (but relatively unbiased) c'a values from 10° to 30°, and conservative c'a values at 40°. Regarding metacognitive sensitivity, significant main effects of attention and eccentricity were found, with metacognitive sensitivity decreasing with eccentricity, and decreasing in the invalid cue condition. Interestingly, metacognitive efficiency, as measured by the ratio of meta-d'a/d'a, was not modulated by attention or eccentricity. Overall, these findings demonstrate (1) that in some circumstances, observers have surprisingly robust metacognitive insights into how performance changes across the visual field and (2) that the periphery may be subject to variable detection biases that are contingent on the exact location in peripheral space.</p>","PeriodicalId":49955,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vision","volume":"24 8","pages":"4"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11314628/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141903375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consistent with this prediction, the patterns of response to a set of complex scenes were heterogeneous between maps. To explain this heterogeneity, we tested the explanatory power of seven candidate models using RSA. These models spanned different scene dimensions (Content, Expanse, Distance), low- and high-level visual features, and navigational affordances. None of the tested models could account for the variation in scene response observed between the OPA's visual field maps. However, the heterogeneity in scene response was correlated with the differences in retinotopic profiles across maps.

In addition, we reanalyzed the data and applied the model to several earlier studies that used sine-wave gratings (single or a combination of two or three gratings) and white noise stimuli. The model provides a very good account of all of these data. The model postulates that the short-latency eye movements-OFRs and DVRs-can be accounted for by the operation of two factors: an excitatory drive, determined by a weighted sum of contributions of stimulus Fourier components, scaled by a global contrast normalization mechanism.

The motion of the background may act through high-level mechanisms that track its explicit contours or the motion may act on position through the signals from low-level motion detectors. Here we isolate the contribution of low-level motion by eliminating explicit contours and trackable features. In this case, motion still supports a robust shift in probe locations with the shift being in the direction of the motion that follows the probe. Although robust, the magnitude of the shift in our first experiment is about 20% of the shift seen in a previous study with explicit frames and, in the second, about 45% of that found with explicit frames.
