Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effects of both monocular and dichoptic masking on the frequency doubling (FD) illusion, using both temporal and spatial masks. Monocular spatial tuning effects occurred around the fundamental FD spatial frequency of 0.25 cycles per degree (c/deg), whereas dichoptic spatial frequency tuning effects occurred at the doubled spatial frequency of 0.50 c/deg. Temporal tuning effects were observed at the FD temporal frequency of 25 Hz, in both monocular and dichoptic paradigms. These results suggest that the FD illusion is cortical in origin and is dominated by a flicker component.
