Luminance-modulated noise (LM) and contrast-modulated noise (CM) gratings were
presented with interocularly correlated, uncorrelated and anti-correlated binary noise to …

We examined the crossmodal effect of the presentation of a simultaneous sound on visual
detection and discrimination sensitivity using the equivalent noise paradigm (Dosher and …

Binocular rivalry properties for contrast-modulated (CM) gratings were examined to gain
insight into their locus of processing. Two orthogonally orientated gratings were presented …

Foveal detection thresholds for LM and CM Gaussian blobs in the presence of visible,
laterally placed blobs (separations of 0–6°) were measured monocularly and dichoptically in …

Contrast-modulated (CM) stimuli are processed by spatial mechanisms that operate at larger
spatial scales than those processing luminance-modulated (LM) stimuli and may be more …

What was Investigated and WhyDogs and pigs share multiple traits, yet dogs are typically
companions whilst pigs are food, a phenomenon termed pet speciesism. Pet speciesism can …

Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by deficits of visual acuity. It
demonstrates greater sensitivity to visual crowding; the phenomena whereby accurate …

The aim of the experiments reported in this thesis was to investigate the multisensory
interactions taking place between vision and audition. The focus is on the modulatory role of …
