Reading with a Simulated 60-Channel Implant
First generation retinal prostheses containing 50-60 electrodes are currently in clinical trials. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the theoretical upper limit (best possible) reading performance attainable with a state-of-the-art 60-channel retinal implant and to find the optimum viewing conditions for the task. Four normal volunteers performed full-page text reading tasks with a low-r...
متن کاملPage mode reading with simulated scotomas: A modest effect of interline spacing on reading speed
Crowding is thought to be one potent limiting factor of reading in peripheral vision. While several studies investigated how crowding between horizontally adjacent letters or words can influence eccentric reading, little attention has been paid to the influence of vertically adjacent lines of text. The goal of this study was to examine the dependence of page mode reading performance (speed and ...
متن کاملReading with peripheral vision: A comparison of reading dynamic scrolling and static text with a simulated central scotoma
Horizontally scrolling text is, in theory, ideally suited to enhance viewing strategies recommended to improve reading performance under conditions of central vision loss such as macular disease, although it is largely unproven in this regard. This study investigated if the use of scrolling text produced an observable improvement in reading performed under conditions of eccentric viewing in an ...
متن کاملPage mode reading with simulated scotomas: Oculo-motor patterns
This study investigated the relationship between reading speed and oculo-motor parameters when normally sighted observers had to read single sentences with an artificial macular scotoma. Using multiple regression analysis, our main result shows that two significant predictors, number of saccades per sentence followed by average fixation duration, account for 94% of reading speed variance: readi...
متن کاملThe effects of simulated cataract on reading with normal vision and simulated central scotoma
Reading rates are slower for persons with low vision than for normally-sighted persons. This study investigated the change in reading performance and reading eye movements when we simulated the two most common causes of low vision--central field loss and cataract--and their combination (scotoma + cataract). Three subjects read sentences with each of these simulated impairments at five different...
