Figure 2.
Artificial stimuli. Several texture phenomena illustrated in a single figure (see text for details). Here the tests are the 9 patterns in the gray frames. These tests increase in contrast from the frame at the left to the frame at the right. The visibility of the tests (a) nonlinearly increases with the contrast from left to right; (b) the visibility depends on the frequency of the tests, low frequency at the top panel and high frequency at the bottom panel; and (c) the visibility of the tests depends on the background (cross-masking).
