We report three measures of the ability of normally sighted adults to discriminate turning while walking blindfolded outdoors. Constant error in selecting line drawings of paths indicated that participants under represent the amount of turning along

Visible persistence was measured using a two-frame temporal integration paradigm. Most such studies match the brightness of the two frames, and find that equal increases in the brightness of the frames impairs performance on the task. This suggests t

In two experiments, 13 and 9 subjects estimated binocular brightness of targets of large visual extent. On each trial one eye was presented with a fairly intense luminance of 800 cd/m'Symbol not transcribed'2, and the other eye with one of 12 luminan

Experiments have been undertaken in this laboratory over recent years to accurately determine the numbers and sizes of somatic neurons which contribute to the normal sciatic nerve, at mid-thigh levels, of the adult, albino rat. This article is concer

Motor performance in cats was evaluated by means of a beam-walking task after bilateral lesions were made in dorsal column nuclei (DCN) or medial lemniscus (ML) near its entrance to thalamus. Coordinated motor activity was not significantly impaired

Duration of visible persistence is known to be inversely related to the duration of the inducing stimulus, within a critical interval estimated at between 100 and 150 msec. Stimuli longer than the critical interval yield little or no persistence. Six

Two random-dot patterns (D1 and D2) were displayed briefly in close temporal succession, separated by an interstimulus interval (ISI). The two patterns were identical except that D2 could contain one more element (addition) or one less element (subtr

Cats were trained to press a lever for food reinforcement in response to stimulation of the ventral lateral (VL) nucleus of the thalamus and the deep cerebellar nuclei. By scaling stimulus intensities relative to the appearance of a minimal amplitude

Cats were trained to indicate, by bar pressing for food rewards, their detection of stimulation of the ventrobasal (VB) complex delivered through implanted bipolar electrodes. By varying stimulus intensity it was possible to determine thresholds for
