Psychophysical measurement of contrast sensitivity in the behaving mouse.
To understand how activity in mammalian neural circuits controls behavior, the mouse is a promising model system due to the convergence of genetic, optical, and physiological methods. The ability to control and quantify behavior precisely is also essential for these studies. We developed an operant visual detection paradigm to make visual psychophysical measurements: head-fixed mice make respon...
متن کاملCovert attention increases contrast sensitivity: Psychophysical, neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies.
This chapter focuses on the effect of covert spatial attention on contrast sensitivity, a basic visual dimension where the best mechanistic understanding of attention has been achieved. I discuss how models of contrast sensitivity, as well as the confluence of psychophysical, single-unit recording, and neuroimaging studies, suggest that attention increases contrast sensitivity via contrast gain...
متن کاملPsychophysical contrast calibration
Electronic displays and computer systems offer numerous advantages for clinical vision testing. Laboratory and clinical measurements of various functions and in particular of (letter) contrast sensitivity require accurately calibrated display contrast. In the laboratory this is achieved using expensive light meters. We developed and evaluated a novel method that uses only psychophysical respons...
متن کاملPsychophysical aspects of hidradenitis suppurativa.
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a recurrent, debilitating suppurative skin disease. The symptoms are much more than just physical, but studies of its impact on patients' psychological state and related quality of life are very limited. The current study was conducted with a group of 54 patients, aged 16-65 years, who had an active, but stable, course of hidradenitis suppurativa. The aim of the stud...
متن کاملInfluence of the rate of contrast change on the quality of contrast sensitivity assessment: a comparison of three psychophysical methods.
Criterion-free forced-choice procedures for measuring contrast sensitivity with a cathode ray tube (CRT) have low within-subject, intersubject, and test-retest variabilities, but a long test time compared with psychophysical methods that rely on the subject's criterion to determine threshold. Test time and variability of criterion-dependent methods depend on the rate at which the contrast chang...
