This discrimination is produced by means of the Eimer Organ.

The discrimination is very rapid and sharp (details under 1/15th mm). Discriminations is made according to their dimensions, their number (1 against 2) their form when dealing with important differences (parallel lines against criss-crossed ones). The small angular differences are not distinguished. A study of the discrimination of more complex forms is in process
