Neural fine tuning during Vernier acuity training?
A superposition masking and summation to threshold paradigm was employed before and after unmasked Vernier acuity training to measure sensory changes of offset analysing mechanisms. Masking functions show a uniform downward translation after training and detection data reveal higher sensitivities to compound Gabor gratings in the post-test. These findings confirm the existence of learning relat...
متن کاملGrating, vernier, and letter acuity in retinitis pigmentosa.
Grating, vernier, and letter acuities were compared in 25 patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), whose Snellen visual acuities were better than 20/40, to address the mechanism of visual acuity loss. For these patients with RP, all three types of visual acuity were reduced to an equivalent degree from those of a control group of 10 age-similar, visually normal subjects. The findings indicate t...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal vernier acuity.
The study of space-time vernier (STV) provides information on the spatio-temporal structure of the visual system in the same way that the classical spatio-spatial vernier (SSV) provides information on its spatial structure. The transposition of a SSV task into a STV one yields the following experimental format: an object (in the present case a Gaussian Blob) drifts with a constant velocity, V, ...
متن کاملVernier acuity, crowding and amblyopia.
When a vernier target is flanked by a pair of optimally positioned flanks, offset discrimination is strongly degraded. Spatial interference with vernier acuity was studied in each eye of observers with unilateral amblyopia associated with strabismus, anisometropia or both, and were compared to the functions obtained in the normal periphery (Levi et al., 1985). The results showed that: (1) For b...
متن کاملResolution Acuity is better than Vernier Acuity
Our impressive sensitivity to vernier offsets as compared to resolution acuity has long inspired vision researchers to study the phenomena in great detail. In this study we use the test-pedestal framework to compare resolution and vernier acuity. In these experiments the test stimulus is the same for both tasks, only the pedestals differ. When thresholds are expressed in common units of test st...
