Profound vision loss occurs after prolonged exposure to an unchanging featureless visual
environment. The effect is sometimes called visual fade. Here we investigate this …

Do very-long-term (VLT) and short-term chromatic adaptation have a cumulative influence
on color vision? VLT adaptation results from exposure to an altered chromatic environment …

Adaptation to a steady background has a profound effect on both color appearance and
discrimination. We determined the temporal characteristics of chromatic adaptation for …

To examine how the mechanisms of bleaching and background adaptation affect spatial
pattern vision, contrast detection thresholds were measured in the fovea for sinusoidal …

Color appearance remains remarkably stable in the aging visual system despite large
changes in the spectral distribution of the retinal stimulus and losses in chromatic sensitivity …

This study examined the detectability of flicker for small long-wavelength foveal test stimuli
centered within larger long-wavelength surround stimuli. Flicker visibility was evaluated as a …

Very-long-term (VLT) chromatic adaptation results from exposure to an altered chromatic
environment for days or weeks. Color shifts from VLT adaptation are observed hours or days …

It has recently been demonstrated that people often fail to detect between-view changes in
their visual environment. This phenomenon, called 'change blindness'(CB), occurs …

As is well known, dark adaption in the human visual system is much slower than is recovery
from darkness. We show that at high photopic luminances the situation is exactly opposite …

Visual stimuli fade from awareness under retinal stabilization or careful fixation, a
phenomenon documented by Troxler more than 200 years ago. Research on visual fading …
