Abstract
Visual models generally assume that the state of adaptation is set by the average incident light. These models successfully predict the empirical result that an observer adapted to a steady spatially uniform light has greatest sensitivity to contrasts around the adaptation point, and contrast sensitivity declines progressively as the radiance or chromaticity of the test light differs from that of the adaptation level.
