Short-term monocular deprivation strengthens the patched eye's contribution to binocular combination

J Zhou, S Clavagnier, RF Hess - Journal of vision, 2013 - jov.arvojournals.org
Binocularity is a fundamental property of primate vision. Ocular dominance describes the
perceptual weight given to the inputs from the two eyes in their binocular combination. There …

[HTML][HTML] Binocular combination in abnormal binocular vision

J Ding, SA Klein, DM Levi - Journal of vision, 2013 - iovs.arvojournals.org
We investigated suprathreshold binocular combination in humans with abnormal binocular
visual experience early in life. In the first experiment we presented the two eyes with equal …

[HTML][HTML] Binocular combination of phase and contrast explained by a gain-control and gain-enhancement model

J Ding, SA Klein, DM Levi - Journal of vision, 2013 - iovs.arvojournals.org
We investigated suprathreshold binocular combination, measuring both the perceived
phase and perceived contrast of a cyclopean sine wave. We used a paradigm adapted from …

Functional burden of strabismus: decreased binocular summation and binocular inhibition

SL Pineles, FG Velez, SJ Isenberg… - JAMA …, 2013 - jamanetwork.com
Importance Binocular summation (BiS) is defined as the superiority of visual function for
binocular over monocular viewing. Binocular summation decreases with age and large …

[HTML][HTML] The slope of the psychometric function and non-stationarity of thresholds in spatiotemporal contrast vision

SA Wallis, DH Baker, TS Meese, MA Georgeson - Vision research, 2013 - Elsevier
The slope of the two-interval, forced-choice psychometric function (eg the Weibull
parameter, β) provides valuable information about the relationship between contrast …

Four theorems on the psychometric function

KA May, JA Solomon - PLoS One, 2013 - journals.plos.org
In a 2-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) discrimination task, observers choose which of two
stimuli has the higher value. The psychometric function for this task gives the probability of a …

Binocularity enhances visual acuity of eyes implanted with multifocal intraocular lenses

KT Tsaousis, S Plainis, SA Dimitrakos… - Journal of Refractive …, 2013 - journals.healio.com
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of binocularity on long-term visual acuity in patients who
have undergone bilateral implantation of a presbyopia-correcting diffractive multifocal …

What is the primary cause of individual differences in contrast sensitivity?

DH Baker - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
One of the primary objectives of early visual processing is the detection of luminance
variations, often termed image contrast. Normal observers can differ in this ability by at least …

Cross-orientation masking in human color vision: application of a two-stage model to assess dichoptic and monocular sources of suppression

YJ Kim, M Gheiratmand, KT Mullen - Journal of vision, 2013 - jov.arvojournals.org
Cross-orientation masking (XOM) occurs when the detection of a test grating is masked by a
superimposed grating at an orthogonal orientation, and is thought to reveal the suppressive …

[HTML][HTML] Blobs versus bars: Psychophysical evidence supports two types of orientation response in human color vision

M Gheiratmand, TS Meese, KT Mullen - Journal of vision, 2013 - tvst.arvojournals.org
The classic hypothesis of Livingstone and Hubel (1984, 1987) proposed two types of color
pathways in primate visual cortex based on recordings from single cells: a segregated …
