Integration of orientation information in amblyopia
A recent report suggests that amblyopes are deficient in processing local orientation at supra-threshold contrasts. To determine whether amblyopes are also poor at integrating local orientation signals, we assessed performance for an orientation integration task in which the orientations of static signals are integrated across space. Our results show that amblyopic visual systems can integrate ...
متن کاملIntegration of local orientation in strabismic amblyopia
In order to investigate the processes which integrate local orientation information in observers with strabismic amblyopia, we measured contrast thresholds for discriminating the global orientation of a pattern (3 "bars") comprised of Gabor patches. We found that in both eyes of amblyopic observers, as has been reported for normal observers [Saarinen, Levi & Shen (1997) Proceedings of the Natio...
متن کاملDetection, discrimination and integration of second-order orientation information in strabismic and anisometropic amblyopia
To better understand the nature of the cortical deficit in amblyopia we undertook a systematic investigation of second-order processing in 8 amblyopic and 8 normal observers. We investigated local detection, discrimination and global integration. Our local stimulus consisted of a Gaussian patch of fractal noise multiplied by a 1-d sinusoidal modulator. Our global stimulus consisted of an array ...
متن کاملOrientation variance discrimination in amblyopia.
Our previous results showed that while amblyopes can efficiently integrate visual signals, they are poor at segregating signals in noise. This could be either because integration detectors have broader bandwidths or because of a selective extrastriate segregation anomaly. One consequence of the former would be poorer variance discrimination. Using a two-alternative forced-choice paradigm, obser...
متن کاملTrans-saccadic integration of orientation information.
Does visual processing start anew after each eye movement, or is information integrated across saccades? Here we test a strong prediction of the integration hypothesis: that information acquired after a saccade interferes with the perception of images acquired before the saccade. We investigate perception of a basic visual feature, grating orientation, and we take advantage of a delayed interfe...
