Specificity of cone mechanisms in lateral interaction

1. The increment threshold for a brief, small probing light flash was used as an indicator of the state of adaptation of the human fovea. It shows that illumination of a zone up to 7 min of arc in diameter desensitizes the retina and that the additional illumination of a surrounding zone acts to counteract the desensitization.
