An electronic visual stimulator

Abstract

A group of circuits is described that produce various patterns on an oscilloscope screen that are useful in studying vision. These patterns are: a flashing bar, a drifting bar, a flashing grating, and a drifting grating. The circuits have controls for: contrast, velocity, width, position, and orientation with respect to the vertical. This article describes the principles of design and use of these circuit modules as a precise electronic visual stimulator. © 1976 Psychonomic Society, Inc.
