Abstract
Differential spatial displacement discrimination thresholds were determined for a configuration of three blobs with Gaussian spatial and temporal contrast envelopes. This task is similar to the well known three-dot alignment hyperacuity task. Thresholds determined in the presence of interfering stimuli were identical to thresholds determined without these flanking stimuli. The thresholds scale linearly with stimulus size over at least two decades. We conclude that (i) the mechanisms that compute differential spatial displacement for the three-blob alignment task are not disturbed by the presence of neighbouring stimuli, even when these enter the region over which the computations are performed and (ii) at all levels of resolution similar mechanisms are used to compute differential spatial displacement.
