From page 29...
... Questions such as the relative contribution of various areas of the visual field and the role of spatial frequency, contour extent, and contrast remain to be answered. In many respects, then, the ambient system and in particular its visual component represents an uncharted frontier with important implications for psychophysics, medicine, and human engineering.

From page 30...
... That a large scale program of measurement and evaluation of the contrast sensitivity function and the dark-focus on personnel entering pilot training be initiated. Both the dark-focus and the contrast sensitivity function should be measured using psychophysical methods that control response bias and give a known level of statistical reliability.
