Short-term Adaption of Primary and High-order Visual Areas – A Psychophysical Experiment

Visual adaptation is a known phenomena induced when the visual system is exposed to the same stimulus for a prolonged time. When the stimulus is turned off one of the systems’ calibration mechanisms are caught off-guard and visual perception is briefl y perturbed. In our study, we conducted for the fi rst time a psychophysical experiment on short-term adaptation of primary and high-order visual areas.
