The detectability of pairs of flashed lines was investigated as a joint function of their separation in both space and time. In contrast to previous studies of contrast interactions as a function of either spatial or temporal separation alone, the predominant interaction is not lateral inhibition, but a delayed facilitation. A quantitative model based on probability summation between lateral-inhibitory detectors does not appear able to account for these results. Two related explanations are suggested: either a motion detection system or the nonlinear 'transient' subsystem is being tapped.
研究了成对闪烁线条的可探测性，它是空间和时间上分离程度的联合函数。与以往仅将对比度相互作用作为空间或时间分离函数的研究不同，主要的相互作用不是侧向抑制，而是延迟促进。基于侧向抑制探测器之间概率求和的定量模型似乎无法解释这些结果。提出了两种相关解释：要么是运动检测系统，要么是非线性“瞬态”子系统被利用了。
