Measuring the Luminance Contrast Sensitivity Function in Peripheral Vision

open access: yesColor Research &Application, EarlyView.
Luminance contrast detection thresholds of frequencies at eccentricities for a person. ABSTRACT We measured luminance contrast sensitivity functions (CSF) of four subjects by using Gabor stimuli up to 56°, 49°, 84°, and 63° in the nasal, superior, temporal, and inferior directions, respectively, of the left‐eye visual field.

How Changing Narratives About the Future Shape Policymaking for the Long Term

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How can we explain decisions by governments to engage in policy investments—accepting short‐term costs in return for anticipated gains in the longer term—after previously sustaining the status quo? Our article examines the role of narratives in changing expectations about the future as a key driver of intertemporal policymaking. In light of an

Comparative analysis of ocular biometrics using spectral domain optical coherence tomography with Purkinje image and optic nerve head alignments in mice

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Medical Research
Background Mice are an emerging model for experimental myopia. Due to their small eye size, non-invasive optical coherence tomography is essential for evaluating ocular biometrics.
