Binocular vision in amblyopia: structure, suppression and plasticity

RF Hess, B Thompson, DH Baker - … and Physiological Optics, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The amblyopic visual system was once considered to be structurally monocular. However, it
now evident that the capacity for binocular vision is present in many observers with …

Perceptual learning improves stereoacuity in amblyopia

binocular deficits. Although traditional treatment in clinical practice (ie, refractive correction …

Real-time modulation of perceptual eye dominance in humans

J Zhou, A Reynaud, RF Hess - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Ocular dominance (OD) has long served as the model for neural plasticity. The shift of OD
has been demonstrated by monocular deprivation in animals only during early visual …

Rebalancing binocular vision in amblyopia

J Ding, DM Levi - Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose Humans with amblyopia have an asymmetry in binocular vision: neural signals
from the amblyopic eye are suppressed in the cortex by the fellow eye. The purpose of this …

computer-based method, and to test the feasibility of the assessment in the clinic. Methods …

Transient improvements in fixational stability in strabismic amblyopes following bifoveal fixation and reduced interocular suppression

RN Raveendran, RJ Babu, RF Hess… - Ophthalmic and …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose To test the hypothesis that fixational stability of the amblyopic eye in strabismics will
improve when viewing provides both bifoveal fixation and reduced inter‐ocular suppression …

Noise provides new insights on contrast sensitivity function

G Chen, F Hou, FF Yan, P Zhang, J Xi, Y Zhou, ZL Lu… - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Sensitivity to luminance difference, or contrast sensitivity, is critical for animals to survive in
and interact with the external world. The contrast sensitivity function (CSF), which measures …

Linear binocular combination of responses to contrast modulation: Contrast-weighted summation in first-and second-order vision

J Zhou, MA Georgeson, RF Hess - Journal of vision, 2014 - jov.arvojournals.org
Binocular combination for first-order (luminance-defined) stimuli has been widely studied,
but we know rather little about this binocular process for spatial modulations of contrast …

Binocular combination of second-order stimuli

J Zhou, R Liu, Y Zhou, RF Hess - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Phase information is a fundamental aspect of visual stimuli. However, the nature of the
binocular combination of stimuli defined by modulations in contrast, so-called second-order …
