Abstract
Measurement of threshold contrasts for simple patterns in the presence of dynamic visual noise, along with some simple assumptions, allows an estimation of the internal noise in the visual system. The internal noise properties may be compared with those expected for photon noise and neural noise, indicating that each plays a role in limiting visual detection. This will be related to quantum efficiency as defined by Rose1 and Barlow.2
