Knowledge alters visual contrast sensitivity.
Research has shown that the visual system's sensitivity to variations in luminance (visual contrast) within a particular area of the retina is affected in a bottom-up fashion by the ambient contrast levels in nearby regions. Specifically, changes in the ambient contrast in areas surrounding the target area alter the sensitivity to visual contrast within the target area. More recent research has...
متن کاملVisual contrast sensitivity in drug-induced Parkinsonism.
The influence of stimulus orientation on contrast sensitivity function was studied in 10 patients with drug-induced Parkinsonism. Nine of the 10 patients had at least one eye with contrast sensitivity deficit for vertical and/or horizontal stimuli. Only generalised contrast sensitivity loss, observed in two eyes, was stimulus orientation independent. All spatial frequency-selective contrast def...
متن کاملVisual contrast sensitivity as a diagnostic tool.
In “Possible Estuary-Associated Syndrome: Symptoms, Vision, and Treatment,” Shoemaker and Hudnell (1) advocated use of the visual contrast sensitivity (VCS) test as a biomarker to diagnose possible estuaryassociated syndrome (PEAS) and to assess response to their proposed treatment regimen. However, the use of VCS as a diagnostic test for PEAS (and subsequent treatment of PEAS with cholestyrami...
متن کاملStatic sound timing alters sensitivity to low-level visual motion.
Visual motion processing is essential to survival in a dynamic world and is probably the best-studied facet of visual perception. It has been recently discovered that the timing of brief static sounds can bias visual motion perception, an effect attributed to "temporal ventriloquism" whereby the timing of the sounds "captures" the timing of the visual events. To determine whether this cross-mod...
