Task: Whether the target Gabor is tilted clockwise or counterclockwise. Participants: Seven observers with normal or corrected-to-normal vision. Apparatus: Eyelink 1000. Display++ monitor. 120 Hz at 1920x1080. 76cm distance. Stimulus conditions: Gabor patches: 2 cpd, 0.5 deg SD. Flanker-target distance: 4 deg. Flankers: Always vertical. Target orientation: A value corresponding to ~80% discrimination performance Blocked: 1) Fixation : 600 trials per observer 2) Saccade : 3000 trials per observer Randomized: i) Unflanked – high contrast (100%) ii) Unflanked – low contrast (25%) iii) Both target and flankers high contrast iv) Target low contrast, flankers high contrast v) Target high contrast, flankers low contrast vi) Both target and flankers low contrast Procedure: Conclusions
