Brightness Scaling of White and Colored Stimuli
Abstract
Brightness scales for chromatic and achromatic test stimuli have been obtained by the methods of ratio production and magnitude estimation for the dark-adapted observer and conditions of brief foveal stimulation. All scales adhere to the form of a power law for brightness, and scales obtained under the differing psychophysical procedures agree.
