Discrimination Judgments of Gray Patches

Description

Four subjects were repeatedly presented with all possible pairs of nine gray patches presented under a constant illumination of 133.27 cd/m^2. Stimuli had a size of 0.81 degrees of visual angle and were presented side by side with a distance of 2.32 degrees of visual angle.

On each trial, subjects judged whether the two patches looked same or different.
