    Author: Mareschal I, Ashida H, Bex PJ, Nishida S, Verstraten FA.
    Journal: Vision Res; 1997 Jul; 37(13):1755-9. PubMed ID: 9274762.
    Abstract:
    The spatial frequency selectivity of motion detection mechanisms can be measured by comparing the magnitude of motion aftereffects (MAEs) as a function of the spatial frequency of the adapting and test gratings. For static test gratings, narrow spatial frequency tuning has been reported in a number of studies. However, for dynamic test patterns, reports have been conflicting. Ashida & Osaka [(1994). Perception, 23, 1313-1320] found no tuning whereas Bex et al. [(1996) Vision Research, 36, 2721-2727] reported a narrow tuning. The main difference between the two studies was the temporal frequency of the test pattern. In this study we measured the spatial frequency tuning of the MAE using test patterns for a range of temporal frequencies. The results confirmed that there was narrow spatial frequency tuning when the test pattern was counterphasing at a low temporal frequency. However, the spatial frequency selectivity broadened as the temporal frequency of the test pattern was increased.
