Abstract
In many experiments on visual pattern perception, it has been assumed that the effects of adaptation to contrast saturate within a few minutes. However, we show here that such saturation does not necessarily occur. Instead, both the buildup and recovery of the threshold elevation aftereffect fit closely a power function.
