Background chromatic contrast preference in cases with age-related macular degeneration

open access: yesJournal of Optometry, 2013
Objective: To identify background chromatic contrast preferred subjectively by patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: Prospective observational case series. Study subjects with AMD were recruited and compared to a control group of

Spatial Contrast Sensitivity to Polarization and Luminance in Octopus

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
While color vision is achieved by comparison of signals of photoreceptors tuned to different parts of light spectra, polarization vision is achieved by comparison of signals of photoreceptors tuned to different orientations of the electric field ...

A note concerning the relationship between the Adelson’s Argyle illusion and Cornsweet edges [PDF]

open access: yesPsihologija, 2014
Adelson’s Argyle illusion and the Craik-O’Brien-Cornsweet illusion are two noteworthy brightness illusions. In the Argyle illusion two identical gray areas are perceived to have radically different brightness levels when they are surrounded by a

Effects of chronic alcoholism in the sensitivity to luminance contrast in vertical sinusoidal gratings

open access: yesPsicologia: Reflexão e Crítica, 2016
The aim of this study was to measure visual contrast sensitivity (CS) of luminance using vertical sinusoidal gratings with spatial frequencies of 0.6, 2.5, 5.0 and 20.0 cycles per degree of visual angle in chronic alcoholics in abstinence period.

Contrast conservation in human vision

open access: yesVision Research, 2003
Visual experience, which is defined by brief saccadic sampling of complex scenes at high contrast, has typically been studied with static gratings at threshold contrast. To investigate how suprathreshold visual processing is related to threshold vision, we tested the temporal integration of contrast in the presence of large, sudden changes in the ...

Achromatic Cues Are Important for Flower Visibility to Hawkmoths and Other Insects

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Studies on animal colour vision typically focus on the chromatic aspect of colour, which is related to the spectral distribution, and disregard the achromatic aspect, which is related to the intensity (“brightness”) of a stimulus.

Crowdsourcing visual perception experiments: a case of contrast threshold [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Crowdsourcing has commonly been used for psychological research but not for studies on sensory perception. A reason is that in online experiments, one cannot ensure that the rigorous settings required for the experimental environment are replicated.

Dampening Spontaneous Activity Improves the Light Sensitivity and Spatial Acuity of Optogenetic Retinal Prosthetic Responses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Retinitis pigmentosa is a progressive retinal dystrophy that causes irreversible visual impairment and blindness. Retinal prostheses currently represent the only clinically available vision-restoring treatment, but the quality of vision returned remains ...
