摘要: Sensitivity for inclination detection of a foveally seen line is exceedingly high. It shown that appropriately structured visual stimuli can interfere with the threshold, presumably by inhibiting some neural signals before they are channeled to interact others their ensemble. The parameters this inhibition, and implication those sensitivity involved elements, outlined: spatial location, time course, movement sensitivity, dichoptic nature, nonrecurrent characteristics, position rather than orientation dependency.
