Similar contrast sensitivity functions measured using psychophysics and optokinetic nystagmus
Although the contrast sensitivity function (CSF) is a particularly useful way of characterising functional vision, its measurement relies on observers making reliable perceptual reports. Such procedures can be challenging when testing children. Here we describe a system for measuring the CSF using an automated analysis of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN); an involuntary oscillatory eye movement made...
متن کاملAssessment of visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in the chick using an optokinetic nystagmus paradigm
While the chick is one of the widely used animal models for eye growth studies very little is known about its visual spatial resolution performance. Using optokinetic nystagmus responses as an indicator of stimulus visibility, we estimated the visual acuity of young chicks to be between 6.0 and 7.7 cycles deg-1 at 2 and 4 days of age and slightly higher, between 7.7 and 8.6 cycle deg-1, at 8 da...
متن کاملInfant luminance and chromatic contrast sensitivity: Optokinetic nystagmus data on 3-month-olds
Infant color vision is poor, and most psychophysical experiments agree that infant color vision emerges between ages 3 weeks and 3 months. Presumably, the color vision of infants is poor during the months immediately after it has emerged. We have tested two alternative explanations for the poor color vision of infants: (1) there is a special critical immaturity within the color pathways of infa...
متن کاملChromatic contrast sensitivity during optokinetic nystagmus, visually enhanced vestibulo-ocular reflex, and smooth pursuit eye movements.
Recently we showed that sensitivity for chromatic- and high-spatial frequency luminance stimuli is enhanced during smooth-pursuit eye movements (SPEMs). Here we investigated whether this enhancement is a general property of slow eye movements. Besides SPEM there are two other classes of eye movements that operate in a similar range of eye velocities: the optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) is a reflexi...
متن کاملScotopic Optokinetic Nystagmus Thresholds
Although it is now well established that a variety of ocular and systemic diseases, including diabetes, are harmful to the SWS cone pathway, causing a decrease in SW sensitivity,"the site(s) of the loss is not well known. The loss in SW sensitivity in diabetes has been variously attributed to changes in the lens, loss of SWS cone receptors due to their greater vulnerability to insult, the reduc...
