Matching luminance values for Gabor stimuli across our wide-field (-40 deg to +40 deg) display

Hi there -

We coded a task in PsychoPy where we are displaying Gabor patches on a wide-field monitor, ranging from -40 to +40 degrees.

We have a Konica Minolta LS-150 device that is unfortunately not supported by the Monitor Center in PsychoPy (it looks like Konica Minolta devices are).

Two questions:

  1. Any chance that this device could be added to the monitor center?
  2. If not, what do you think would be the best workaround for matching luminance across eccentricities in our setup? We have noticed that across the monitor, you have different luminance values for different locations (e.g., -40 degrees and 10 degrees, etc.)

Each person performs a staircase procedure before the task, so each person produces a unique threshold for Gabor opacity level.

Thx!
Brian
