Contrast and Phase Combination in Binocular Vision [PDF]

open access: goldPLoS ONE, 2010
How the visual system combines information from the two eyes to form a unitary binocular representation of the external world is a fundamental question in vision science that has been the focus of many psychophysical and physiological investigations.

A Biomimetic Model of Adaptive Contrast Vision Enhancement from Mantis Shrimp. [PDF]

open access: goldSensors (Basel), 2020
Mantis shrimp have complex visual sensors, and thus, they have both color vision and polarization vision, and are adept at using polarization information for visual tasks, such as finding prey. In addition, mantis shrimp, almost unique among animals, can

Von Bezold assimilation effect reverses in stereoscopic conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Lightness contrast and lightness assimilation are opposite phenomena: in contrast, grey targets appear darker when bordering bright surfaces (inducers) rather than dark ones; in assimilation, the opposite occurs.

Neural Mechanisms for Drosophila Contrast Vision [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2015
Spatial contrast, the difference in adjacent luminance values, provides information about objects, textures, and motion and supports diverse visual behaviors. Contrast computation is therefore an essential element of visual processing. The underlying mechanisms, however, are poorly understood.

Higher order color mechanisms : Evidence from noise-masking experiments in cone contrast space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This study addresses a fundamental question concerning the number of cortical, i.e., higher order mechanisms in color vision. The initial subcortical stages in color vision can be described by three cone mechanisms, S, M, L, and three pairs of second ...

The secret world of shrimps: polarisation vision at its best [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Animal vision spans a great range of complexity, with systems evolving to detect variations in optical intensity, distribution, colour, and polarisation.

Temporal structure in spiking patterns of ganglion cells defines perceptual thresholds in rodents with subretinal prosthesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Subretinal prostheses are designed to restore sight in patients blinded by retinal degeneration using electrical stimulation of the inner retinal neurons.

A spatial contrast retina with on-chip calibration for neuromorphic spike-based AER vision systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We present a 32 32 pixels contrast retina microchip that provides its output as an address event representation (AER) stream. Spatial contrast is computed as the ratio between pixel photocurrent and a local average between neighboring pixels obtained ...

Trail Making Test performance contributes to subjective judgment of visual efficiency in older adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Introduction: The determinant factors that influence self-reported quality of vision have yet to be fully elucidated. This study evaluated a range of contextual information, established psychophysical tests, and in particular, a series of cognitive tests
