• Even though the results in the “Regular” condition could be attributed to low-level features, the results in the “Noisy” condition could not • Since both “Noisy” and “Regular” runs showed the same pattern, we conclude that the same mechanism is at work in both • Humans are independently sensitive to dimensions of generalized cones, even after growing up in markedly different visual environments “Noisy” “Regular” • Subjects had to divide the display into two groups • Feedback was given after each trial in the form of a green line over the correct divide • “Noisy” displays were shown in dfifferent sessions to some subjects Experimental Task: texture segregation
