Abstract
This paper presents a method to be used in psychophysical experiments to 
compare directly visual perception to an a contrario algorithm, on a 
straight patterns detection task. The method is composed of two parts. 
The first part consists in building a stimulus, namely an array of 
oriented elements, in which an alignment is present with variable 
salience. The second part focuses on a detection algorithm, based on the 
a contrario theory, which is designed to predict which alignment will be 
considered as the most salient in a given stimulus.
