The sensitivity for 4-msec flashes of sinusoidal grating was determined at various times during and after a subthreshold 800 msec flash of grating of the same spatial-frequency. At frequencies of 2 c/deg and below, the sensitivity to the short flash was transiently changed for about 100 msec after the onset and the offset of the long flash. If the gratings in the long and short flashes were spatially in phase, the sensitivity to the short flash was increased at the onset of the long flash but was decreased at the offset. A phase-shift of 180° caused an inversion of these effects. At higher spatial-frequencies, the sensitivity to the short flash was increased to a new steady level for the duration of the long flash, when the gratings were in phase. A phase-shift of 180° did not cause an inversion: the sensitivity was changed transiently at the onset and offset of the long flash. This might suggest a non-linearity of response, but it is argued that the results can be explained by supposing the existence of two types of channel at these spatial-frequencies.
