Human short-wavelength-sensitive cone light adaptation.
The cone-driven visual system is able to regulate its sensitivity effectively from twilight to bright sunlight. On the basis of a novel combination of short-wavelength-sensitive (S-) cone measurements of temporal sensitivity and temporal delay, we show that S-cone light adaptation is achieved not only by trading unwanted sensitivity for speed but also by an additional process that counterintuit...
متن کاملEffect of age on short-wavelength sensitive cone electroretinogram and long- and middle-wavelength sensitive cone electroretinogram.
Using a light-emitting diode (LED) built-in contact lens electrode, we studied the effect of age on short-wavelength sensitive cone electroretinograms (S-cone ERG) and long- and middle-wavelength sensitive cone ERGs (LM-cone ERG). We recorded ERGs in 31 pseudophakic subjects to avoid the effect of yellowing in the human crystalline lens. The intensities of our stimuli were on the asymptote of t...
متن کاملPeripheral detection and resolution with mid-/long-wavelength and short-wavelength sensitive cone systems.
This study compared neural resolution and detection limits of the human mid-/long-wavelength and short-wavelength cone systems with anatomical estimates of photoreceptor and retinal ganglion cell spacings and sizes. Detection and resolution limits were measured from central fixation out to 35° eccentricity across the horizontal visual field using a modified Lotmar interferometer. The mid-/long-...
متن کاملHuman cone light adaptation: from behavioral measurements to molecular mechanisms.
The ability of the cone visual system to regulate its sensitivity from twilight to bright sunlight is an extraordinary feat of biology. Here, we investigate the changes in visual processing that accompany cone light adaptation over a 5 log10 unit intensity range by combining measures of temporal sensitivity made in one eye with measures of the temporal delay between the two eyes in different st...
متن کاملBlocking Short-Wavelength Component of the Visible Light Emitted by Smartphones’ Screens Improves Human Sleep Quality
Background: It has been shown that short-wavelength blue component of the visible light spectrum can alter the circadian rhythm and suppress the level of melatonin hormone. The short-wavelength light emitted by smartphones’ screens can affect the sleep quality of the people who use these devices at night through suppression of melatonin.Objectives: In this study, we examined the effects of co...
