A scientific figure showing that those individuals with innocuous PHS also had higher thermal contrasts during the task

A figure that shows examples of increasing visual contrast from low to high, and the corresponding thermal contrast, where luminance values (in vision) are replaced with temperatures. E.g. in conditions of low thermal contrast there is little difference between the high and low temperatures. A visual depiction of the methods used in the study is also presented.
