Abstract: We consider estimation and statistical hypothesis testing on classification images obtained from the two-alternative forced-choice experimental paradigm. We begin with a probabilistic model of task performance for simple forced-choice detection and discrimination tasks. Particular attention is paid to general linear filter models because these models lead to a direct interpretation of the classification image as an estimate of the filter weights. We then describe an estimation procedure for obtaining classification images from observer data. A number of statistical tests are presented for testing various hypotheses from classification images based on some more compact set of features derived from them. As an example of how the methods we describe can be used, we present a case study investigating detection of a Gaussian bump profile.

Peripheral vision and pattern recognition: a review.
TL;DR: It is reported that peripheral vision is limited with regard to pattern categorization by a distinctly lower representational complexity and processing speed than those imposed on low-level functions and by way of crowding.

Visual search: a retrospective.
TL;DR: In this article, a review article draws on efforts from various subfields and discusses the mechanisms and strategies the brain uses to optimize visual search: the psychophysical evidence, their neural correlates, and if unknown, possible loci of the neural computations.

A standard model for foveal detection of spatial contrast.
TL;DR: The ModelFest data set consists of contrast thresholds for 43 foveal achromatic contrast stimuli collected from each of 16 observers and one model is identified as a possible standard, suitable for simple theoretical and applied predictions.

Accurate statistical tests for smooth classification images.
TL;DR: It is argued that two statistical tests based on random field theory (RFT) satisfy this need for smooth classification images and are illustrated on classification images representative of the literature.
