Sensory systems continuously mold themselves to the widely varying contexts in which they
must operate. Studies of these adaptations have played a long and central role in vision …

As with other organs, the eye's growth is regulated by homeostatic control mechanisms.
Unlike other organs, the eye relies on vision as a principal input to guide growth. In this …

A unique bifocal compound eye visual system found in the now extinct trilobite, Dalmanitina
socialis, may enable them to be sensitive to the light-field information and simultaneously …

The appearance of faces can be strongly affected by the characteristics of faces viewed
previously. These perceptual after-effects reflect processes of sensory adaptation that are …

Visual coding is a highly dynamic process and continuously adapting to the current viewing
context. The perceptual changes that result from adaptation to recently viewed stimuli …

No sensory stimulus is an island unto itself; rather, it can only properly be interpreted in light
of the stimuli that surround it in space and time. This can result in entertaining illusions and …

A fundamental problem facing sensory systems is to recover useful information about the
external world from signals that are corrupted by the sensory process itself. Retinal images …

Migraine encompasses a broader spectrum of sensory symptoms than just headache. These
“other” symptoms, eg, sensory phobias, cognitive and mood changes, allodynia, and many …

Written by a leader in the field of low vision research, this book discusses the role of vision in
reading, focusing on the reading performance of people with normal, healthy vision and …

The depth-of-focus, or the perceptual tolerance of the human eye to retinal defocus, is
important to and imbedded in many aspects of clinical refraction and physiological optics …
