Previous studies have employed different experimental approaches to enhance visual
function in adults with amblyopia including perceptual learning, videogame play, and …

The contrast sensitivity function (CSF) provides a fundamental characterization of spatial
vision, important for basic and clinical applications, but its long testing times have prevented …

Motivated by Signal Detection Theory (SDT), we developed a family of novel adaptive
methods that estimate the sensitivity threshold—the signal intensity corresponding to a pre …

The ability to quickly detect and respond to visual stimuli in the environment is critical to
many human activities. While such perceptual and visual–motor skills are important in a …

A prolonged exposure to foveal defocus is well known to affect the visual functions in the
fovea. However, the effects of peripheral blur adaptation on foveal vision, or vice versa, are …

Background Impaired low-contrast visual acuity (LCVA) is common in multiple sclerosis (MS)
and other neurological diseases. Its assessment is often limited to selected contrasts, for …

Recently in vision science there has been great interest in understanding the perceptual
representations of complex multidimensional stimuli. Therefore, it is becoming very …

Abstract The Contrast Sensitivity Function relates the spatial frequency and contrast of a
spatial pattern to its visibility and thus provides a fundamental description of visual function …

Amblyopia screening during childhood is critical for early detection and successful
treatment. In the current study, we develop and evaluate a screening method that exploits …

A number of previous reports have suggested that the processing of second-order stimuli by
the amblyopic eye (AE) is defective and that the fellow non-amblyopic eye (NAE) also …
