From: Aging affects gain and internal noise in the visual system

The correlations between contrast sensitivity and internal additive noise at all spatial frequencies at the low, medium and high noise levels for young and old groups, respectively. Data from all observers were pooled. āYā denotes the young group; āOā denotes the old group; āLowā denotes the condition of the low noise level; āMediumā denotes the condition of the medium noise level; āHighā denotes the condition of the high noise level. The data were the residual plus mean values after excluding the effect of spatial frequency.
