Behavioural contrast sensitivity of the cat in various visual meridians

S. Bisti and L. Maffei

1. The contrast sensitivity of the cat as a function of the spatial frequency of the visual stimulus was determined by using behavioural techniques.

2. No statistically significant difference was found for the contrast sensitivity thresholds at various orientations of the stimulus.

3. A comparison of the contrast sensitivity curve of the cat with that of the human shows that the two species have rather different characteristics of visual spatial resolution.
