The circular dot pattern was located either in the right or left visual hemifield (offset of centre of the circular pattern from the mid-line 8°; max. radius of the dot pattern 6°; min. radius 1.2°, shortest distance from the dot patch to the fixation dot, 2°; amount of white dots = 113; Fig. 1B, C).
Because responses to a single stimulus are needed as input for the attentional normalization model, we simulated responses of MT neurons to different directions of 100% contrast motion stimuli (e.g., drifting Gabor or random dot patch) with a Gaussian function (see Methods).
The Caragana woodlands in this region show a pattern of dots, patches and strips separated by natural and cultivated forest, thereby leading to a typical fragmented landscape.
Maya, as she is called, was nine months pregnant (to the day), and while she was onstage rapping about "some some some I some I murder, some I some I let go" — in a black skintight, body-stocking dress, transparent except for polka-dot patches that strategically covered her belly, breasts and derrière — she began to experience contractions.
Dotting a patch of soil the size of a dining room table, they looked like small, uninteresting cabbages.
From the plane, we first looked down on a flat landscape of grassland dotted with patches of trees; this slowly became forest dotted with grassland patches; and then all we could see was a crush of trees barely making way for the occasional scribble of a Congo tributary.
The glove went through a series of designs, with dots and patches of different shapes and colors, but the current version is covered with 20 irregularly shaped patches that use 10 different colors.
It's an essentially serious, sometimes dark movie about infidelity, friendship, and male madness, dotted with patches of broad physical comedy and some spectacular Vince Vaughn riffs.
With its expansive views of Lower Manhattan and the harbor, the waterfront, known as the North Shore Greenway, is dotted with patches of flowers and birch trees.
When we docked at Middle Key, Duncan had to give a tour to a group of visiting scientists, but not before pointing me to a small flat dotted with patches of coral and swaying turtle grass.
As the results above show, several of the boys readily made out straight lines where none appeared in the original – either because they were already familiar with Lowell's ideas or, as Maunder claimed, because the eye resolves dots and patches into lines at a distance.
