“…More importantly, the method used here generates a combination of many RF patterns, whereas most previous studies used either single component RF patterns (e.g. Bell & Badcock, 2008Bell et al, 2007;Green, Dickinson, & Badcock, 2017, 2018a, Green, Dickinson, & Badcock, 2018bHess, Achtman, & Wang, 2001;Jeffrey et al, 2002;Schmidtmann et al, 2012;Loffler et al, 2003), combinations of two Bell et al, 2007;Lawrence et al, 2016) or three RF components (Schmidtmann, Jennings, & Kingdom, 2015). Given that the aim of this study was to explore the limits of what can be represented by compound RF patterns, the stimuli used here are combinations of an arbitrary number of RF patterns (see Methods).…”
