DOI:10.1167/iovs.13-12737 PURPOSE. To compare blind-side detection performance of drivers with homonymous hemianopia (HH) for stationary and approaching pedestrians, initially appearing at small (48) or large (148) eccentricities in a driving simulator. While the stationary pedestrians did not represent an imminent threat, as their eccentricity increased rapidly as the vehicle advanced, the approaching pedestrians maintained a collision course with approximately constant eccentricity, walking or running, toward the travel lane as if to cross.

متن کاملDriving with Hemianopia V: Do Individuals with Hemianopia Spontaneously Adapt Their Gaze Scanning to Differing Hazard Detection Demands?
PURPOSE We investigated whether people with homonymous hemianopia (HH) were able to spontaneously (without training or instructions) adapt their blind-side scan magnitudes in response to differing scanning requirements for detection of pedestrians in a driving simulator when differing cues about pedestrian eccentricities and movement behaviors were available in the seeing hemifield. METHODS T...
متن کاملHazard Detection by Drivers with Paracentral Homonymous Field Loss: A Small Case Series.
INTRODUCTION Stroke frequently causes homonymous visual field loss. We previously found in a driving simulator that patients with complete homonymous hemianopia had difficulty detecting potential hazards on the side of the field loss. Here we measured the effects of limited paracentral homonymous field loss on detection performance. METHODS Three patients with paracentral homonymous scotomas,...
متن کاملDriving With Hemianopia VI: Peripheral Prisms and Perceptual-Motor Training Improve Detection in a Driving Simulator
Purpose Drivers with homonymous hemianopia (HH) were previously found to have impaired detection of blind-side hazards, yet in many jurisdictions they may obtain a license. We evaluated whether oblique 57Δ peripheral prisms (p-prisms) and perceptual-motor training improved blind-side detection rates. Methods Patients with HH (n = 11) wore p-prisms for 2 weeks and then received perceptual-moto...
متن کاملPROCEEDINGS of the Seventh International Driving Symposium on Human Factors in Driver Assessment, Training, and Vehicle Design VIDEO TEST TO EVALUATE DETECTION PERFORMANCE OF DRIVERS WITH HEMIANOPIA AND QUADRANOPIA: PRELIMINARY RESULTS
The ability of individuals with hemianopia to compensate for their vision impairment by eye/head scanning to detect hazards in their non-seeing (blind) hemifield varies widely in both simulator and on-road tests. Conventional visual fields tests do not reflect this variability, while simulator and on-road tests are time-consuming and expensive. We therefore developed a simple, 15-minute video-b...
