“…In particular, we modeled the monotonic increase in discrimination performance with increasing stimulus contrast using Naka-Rushton functions (e.g., Herrmann et al, 2010;Huang & Dobkins, 2005;Ling & Carrasco, 2006b;Pestilli et al, 2009). Furthermore, for each eccentricity, we constrained the variation in contrast thresholds across SF by a functional form of the CSF that adheres to its conventional bandpass shape (Movshon & Kiorpes, 1988;Wang et al, 2017). In doing so, we greatly improved the parsimony of our modeling approach while conforming to known variations of contrast sensitivity across SF (Campbell & Robson, 1968;De Valois et al, 1974;Hilz & Cavonius, 1974;Kelly, 1977;Owsley, 2003;Robson, 1966;Robson & Graham, 1981;Rovamo et al, 1978;Virsu & Rovamo, 1979).…”
