Scotopic vision in colour-blinds
Alleles causing colour-blindness are present in humans at non-negligible levels, and it is not yet understood how colour-blindness is maintained, since colour-vision probably provides a selective advantage, e.g. when foraging. We show that after dark-adaptation colour-blinds had lower light perception thresholds than colour-normals (0.44 log-units), which may give a selective advantage under sc...
متن کاملVelocity discrimination in scotopic vision
To characterize scotopic motion mechanisms, we examined how variation in average luminance affects the ability to discriminate velocity. Stimuli were drifting horizontal sine-wave gratings (0.25, 1.0 and 2.0 c/deg) viewed through a 2 mm artificial pupil and neutral density filters to produce mean adapting levels from 2.5 to -1.5 log photopic trolands. Drift temporal frequency varied from 0.5 to...

متن کاملImpaired scotopic vision in adiposo-genital dystrophy.
IMPAIRMENT of dark adaptation was found frequently to occur in various endocrine disturbances of the genital function, and has been reported by us previously (Landau and Bromberg, 1950; Landau and Polishuk, 1948; Landau, Eckerling, and Polishuk, 1951; Landau and Bromberg, 1954). Disturbed scotopic vision was observed in the majority of patients suffering from pituitary or ovarian amenorrhea, in...
متن کاملVision under mesopic and scotopic illumination
Evidence has accumulated that rod activation under mesopic and scotopic light levels alters visual perception and performance. Here we review the most recent developments in the measurement of rod and cone contributions to mesopic color perception and temporal processing, with a focus on data measured using a four-primary photostimulator method that independently controls rod and cone excitatio...
