Background In this study, we quantified age-related changes in the time-course of face
processing by means of an innovative single-trial ERP approach. Unlike analyses used in …

Visual function declines with age. Much of the decline may result from functional
degradation in central visual areas. To investigate the physiological mechanisms underlying …

It is well established that many visual functions deteriorate with age. Perhaps counter-
intuitively, a recent study revealed that older people actually require less time to discriminate …

Leventhal et al.(Science, 2003, 300 (5620), 812–815) reported that orientation selectivity of
V1 neurons was significantly reduced in older macaque monkeys, which suggests that …

Anomalous motion illusions represent a popular class of illusions and several studies have
made an effort to explain their perception. However, understanding is still inconsistent. Age …

Three experiments investigated the size and sources of age-related changes in visual
imitation. In Experiment 1, young and older adults viewed sequences of quasi-random …

Purpose. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a condition that progressively reduces
central vision in elderly individuals, resulting in a reduced capacity to perform many daily …

This study investigated the way in which the temporal properties of additive luminance noise
influence threshold contrast and affect estimates of equivalent noise and sampling …

Previous studies have demonstrated an inverse relation between the size of the complete
spatial summation area and ganglion cell density. We hypothesized that if this relation is …

Many everyday tasks are learned through imitation, particularly those that involve a
sequence of actions. Many different variables can affect imitative performance. This work …
