چکیده
The eye's longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA) is known to drive `reflex' accommodation to moving objects, but the evidence is not as clear for stationary objects. The present study examined whether accommodation can be driven by static simulations of the effects of defocus and LCA. Accommodation was recorded continuously while each of 12 subjects viewed images (through a 0.75 mm pinhole) that simulated the appearances of blurred sine wave gratings (3.9 c.p.d.). In two experimental conditions, an eye with normal LCA was assumed and defocus of +1 D or ÿ1 D was simulated. In a control condition, an eye with neutralised LCA was assumed and target defocus of 1 D was simulated. Subjects' accommodation responses were consistent with the hypothesis that LCA provides a stimulus to accommodation. Chromatic aberration drives accommodation to both moving and stationary objects, and thus is an important stimulus for accommodation in everyday situations. The study findings are discussed in relation to colour vision, visual display terminals and emmetropization. # 1999 The College of Optometrists. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Facilitation from collinear flanks is cancelled by non-collinear flanks
Detection of a central Gabor pattern is facilitated by the presence of collinear flanking patterns. We find that this facilitation is greatly reduced when the collinear flanks are combined with non-collinear flanks to form a coherent surround. These results are unlikely to be explained by mechanisms that merely transduce local contrast in a nonlinear fashion. A model wherein the outputs of such...

We investigate the influence of stimulus contrast upon contour interaction in normal and amblyopic subjects. Using a computer generated acuity task, flanked and unflanked acuities were measured psychometrically at both high contrast (80%) and low contrast (6%), in a group of 19 normal and 11 amblyopic subjects. The crowding ratio for high contrast letters was found to be significantly higher th...

Defocus lowers the contrast sensitivity function (CSF), producing a complex function with local dips and peaks. Previously, we were able to predict the shape of the CSF with large pupils from measured transverse aberrations with hypermetropic defocus but not with myopic defocus (Atchison et al., 1998c, J. Opt. Soc. Am. A. 15, 2536). As there is no reason that myopic defocus should be more diffi...
متن کاملA Data-Parallel Algorithm for Minimum-Width Tree Layout
The tree-layout problem is to compute the coordinates of nodes of a tree so that the tree, when drawn on a piece of paper, appeals to human understanding. The tree-layout problem, which seems inherently sequential at the first glance, can be solved with a data-parallel algorithm. It takes O (height * log width ) time on width processors when proper communication links between processors are ava...
