Table 3. Table of the nominal maximum contrast per direction.
The top row indicates the chromatic direction in the LM plane.The L, M, and S contrast rows show the desired contrast on the L, M, and S cones, respectively. The total contrast is the vectorlength of stimuli made up of the L, M, and S cone contrast components and is the definition of contrast used in this study.
