Sex-related differences in chromatic sensitivity [PDF]
, 2008 Generally women are believed to be more discriminating than men in the use of colour names and this is often taken to imply superior colour vision. However, if both X-chromosome linked colour deficient males (~8%) and females (

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

Fearful faces have a sensory advantage in the competition for awareness [PDF]
, 2015 Only a subset of visual signals give rise to a conscious percept. Threat signals, such as fearful faces, are particularly salient to human vision.

Optimal measurement of visual motion across spatial and temporal scales [PDF]
, 2014 Sensory systems use limited resources to mediate the perception of a great variety of objects and events. Here a normative framework is presented for exploring how the problem of efficient allocation of resources can be solved in visual perception ...

Perception of global image contrast involves transparent spatial filtering and the integration and suppression of local contrasts (not RMS contrast) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 When adjusting the contrast setting on a television set, we experience a perceptual change in the global image contrast. But how is that statistic computed?

How Much Pigment Should Flowers Have? Flowers With Moderate Pigmentation Have Highest Color Contrast
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Floral pigments are a core component of flower colors, but how much pigment a flower should have to yield a strong visual signal to pollinators is unknown.
