Abstract
If a pattern requiring orientation discrimination was presented random ly in one of five clearly demarcated time frames 500 ms apart, orienta tion thresholds were elevated similar to 20% over their values when th e time slot was fixed. For stereoscopic depth discrimination the dispa rity threshold elevation was similar to 40%. (C) 1996 Optical. Society of America
