Perceptual learning reduces crowding in amblyopia and in the normal periphery
Amblyopia is a developmental visual disorder of cortical origin, characterized by crowding
and poor acuity in central vision of the affected eye. Crowding refers to the adverse effects of …

[HTML][HTML] Push–pull training reduces foveal sensory eye dominance within the early visual channels
JP Xu, ZJ He, TL Ooi - Vision research, 2012 - Elsevier
A push–pull training protocol is applied to reduce sensory eye dominance in the foveal
region. The training protocol consists of cueing the weak eye to force it to become dominant …
