Contrast sensitivity of the human visual system was measured as a function of the eccentricity along several meridians. The measurements were carried out with a 2-dimensional sinusoidal grating (cross grating) presented in a surround with a luminance equal to the average stimulus luminance. The advantage of this stimulus over a 1-dimensional grating is that it permits presentation of small-sized stimuli, in a surround of the same luminance, without discontinuities at the edges of the stimulus. The contrast sensitivity obtained compares with 1-dimensional gratings. The decrease in sensitivity is dependent on the meridian along which it is measured. Plots of equal sensitivity curves show these curves are somewhat ellipsoidal.
