Size adaptation to visual texture and print: evidence for spatial-frequency analysis.

The visual system can adapt to the size of print or to the grain size of textures like sandpaper and shows cross-adaptation of print to sandpaper and vice versa. These aftereffects are compared to the well-known shifts in apparent spatial frequency produced by adaptation to gratings, which also show cross-adaptation. Probably, print and sandpaper are analyzed at least partly in terms of their spatial-frequency components.
