Pupillary light reflex to light inside the natural blind spot
When a light stimulus covers the human natural blind spot (BS), perceptual filling-in corrects for the missing information inside the BS. Here, we examined whether a filled-in surface of light perceived inside the BS affects the size of the short-latency pupillary light reflex (PLR), a pupil response mediated by a subcortical pathway for unconscious vision. The PLR was not induced by a red surf...
متن کاملThe pupillary light reflex in normal subjects.
In 19 normal subjects the pupillary reflex to light was studied over a range of stimulus intensities by infrared electronic pupillography and analysed by a computer technique. Increasing stimulus intensity was associated with an increase in direct light reflex amplitude and maximum rate of constriction and redilatation. Latency from stimulus to onset of response-decreased with increasing stimul...
متن کاملAttention to bright surfaces enhances the pupillary light reflex.
One longstanding question is how early in the visual system attention exerts its influence. Here we show that an effect of attention can be measured at the earliest possible stage of visual information processing, as a change in the optics of the eye. We tested human subjects and found that covertly attending to bright surfaces results in an enhanced pupillary light reflex (PLR)-the pupillary c...
متن کاملAssessment of pupillary light reflex using a smartphone application
In unconscious patients, pupillary light reflex is an indicator of brain damage. In the current study, a smartphone application was developed for the purpose of measuring pupillary light reflex with an aim to determine the agreement between pupillary light reflex measurements using a smartphone application (APP) and a penlight (PEN). The APP acquires five sequential photographs using the camera...
متن کاملAutonomic components of the human pupillary light reflex.
To investigate the autonomic components of the pupillary light reflex in humans, we used infrared pupillometry combined with a partial local cholinergic (tropicamide) or alpha-adrenergic (thymoxamine) blockade. The pupillary response curve was analyzed using parameters identical or similar to those employed previously to study the autonomic components of the pupillary light reflex. Tropicamide ...
