“…We used a two-alternative, forced-choice psychophysical procedure (Umino et al, 2006a,b) to measure response thresholds for computer-generated, moving sine-wave gratings . Our overall approach is similar to those developed by others for testing vision in humans (Kelly, 1972;Teller et al, 1974), monkeys (De Valois et al, 1974), and cats (Pasternak and Merigan, 1981). This study establishes the spatiotemporal properties of contrast sensitivity of rod and cone vision in mice, revealing the temporal tuning of rod vision and speed tuning of cone vision.…”
