[HTML][HTML] Short-term monocular occlusion produces changes in ocular dominance by a reciprocal modulation of interocular inhibition

E Chadnova, A Reynaud, S Clavagnier, RF Hess - Scientific Reports, 2017 - nature.com
Ocular dominance can be modulated by short-term monocular deprivation. This changes the
contribution that each eye makes to binocular vision, an example of adult cortical …

Asymmetric dichoptic masking in visual cortex of amblyopic macaque monkeys

C Shooner, LE Hallum, RD Kumbhani… - Journal of …, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
In amblyopia, abnormal visual experience leads to an extreme form of eye dominance, in
which vision through the nondominant eye is degraded. A key aspect of this disorder is …

[HTML][HTML] An image-computable psychophysical spatial vision model

HH Schütt, FA Wichmann - Journal of vision, 2017 - iovs.arvojournals.org
A large part of classical visual psychophysics was concerned with the fundamental question
of how pattern information is initially encoded in the human visual system. From these …

[HTML][HTML] Binocular combination of luminance profiles

J Ding, DM Levi - Journal of vision, 2017 - jov.arvojournals.org
We develop and test a new two-dimensional model for binocular combination of the two
eyes' luminance profiles. For first-order stimuli, the model assumes that one eye's luminance …

[HTML][HTML] Binocular contrast, stereopsis, and rivalry: toward a dynamical synthesis

HR Wilson - Vision research, 2017 - Elsevier
It is well known that small orientation differences between two monocular gratings fuse to
generate a stereoscopic perception of tilt, while large differences trigger binocular rivalry. In …

[HTML][HTML] Ocular dominance plasticity: inhibitory interactions and contrast equivalence

DP Spiegel, AS Baldwin, RF Hess - Scientific Reports, 2017 - nature.com
Brief monocular occlusion results in a transient change in ocular dominance, such that the
previously patched eye makes a stronger contribution to the binocular percept after …

[HTML][HTML] Latent binocular function in amblyopia

E Chadnova, A Reynaud, S Clavagnier, RF Hess - Vision research, 2017 - Elsevier
Recently, psychophysical studies have shown that humans with amblyopia do have
binocular function that is not normally revealed due to dominant suppressive interactions …
