The detectability of luminance modulated gratings of different spatial frequencies was determined at five different adaptation levels for three macaque monkeys and five normal human observers. The human and macaque observers gave results which were identical in form and similar in absolute values. Both species showed optimal contrast sensitivity in the middle spatial frequency range of about 3–5 c/deg with both low and high frequency attenuation, at high light levels. Contrast sensitivity to high frequencies dropped rapidly as adaptation levels were lowered, with a resulting shift in peak sensitivity to lower spatial frequencies. At the lowest adaptation level studied, neither macaque nor human observers showed any low frequency attenuation in the spatial luminance contrast sensitivity function.
