Mean psychometric functions for spatial frequency discrimination and spatial extent discrimination (left and right columns, respectively) at four different Michelson contrasts (100%, 10%, 5%, and 2% from top to bottom, respectively).

<p>Reference stimulus: 2 cycles/degree and 1 degree. Filled circles and empty squares represent means for correct responses and incorrect responses, respectively, obtained from the seven subjects. Vertical bars represent the standard errors of the means. Curves are Gaussian fits to the data. The standard deviations of these Gaussian functions were used as measurement of entropy in the spatial frequency domain or spatial domain, respectively.
