Vernier acuity was measured in infants 1 to 14 months of age using a dynamic three alternative tracking paradigm. The location of the vernier offset would move randomly to one of three screen locations. An observer, unaware of the stimulus location, viewed the infant from behind a screen and guessed the position of the vernier offset. The magnitude of the vernier offset was controlled by a stai...

Vernier acuity, a form of visual hyperacuity, is amongst the most precise forms of spatial vision. Under optimal conditions Vernier thresholds are much finer than the inter-photoreceptor distance. Achievement of such high precision is based substantially on cortical computations, most likely in the primary visual cortex. Using stimuli with added positional noise, we show that Vernier processing...

To evaluate the relative importance of local feature and spatial filter models for hyperacuity, vernier thresholds were determined for gratings consisting of a fundamental (Fo) and third harmonic (3F) presented alone, and added together in compound gratings where the relative phase offsets of 3F to Fo was 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. Thresholds were determined for a range of spatial frequencies ...

We present the Vernier optical fiber Shape-8 double-ring resonator consisting of two optical fibre rings with a gain coupling cofficent path connecting the two rings. One of the ring is twisted to form an enclosed Shape-8. Photonic graphical techniques are applied to obtain the transfer functions between input and output ports of the photonic circuit. The Shape-8 Vernier Double Ring optical res...

For rapidly translating targets, vernier thresholds correspond to millisecond asynchronies between targets. The 'temporal hypothesis' is that these thresholds reflect the limiting sensitivity of asynchrony detectors. Previous studies showed that temporal thresholds are generally higher than vernier thresholds, but failed to reject the 'temporal hypothesis' because stimuli had differing spatiote...

BACKGROUND A number of techniques are being practiced for the evaluation of VDO, but none of them is scientifically more accurate than other. Each method advocated has its own limitations. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to find correlation between vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and interpupillary distance (IPD). MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on ...

How features of an object are bound into a unique percept is one of the puzzling problems in the cognitive and neuro-sciences. In order to investigate the spatio-temporal mechanisms of feature binding, we serially present two verniers with opposite offset directions for very short durations. Only one vernier is perceived with its offset dominated by the vernier presented second. This dominance ...

The KT1000 and KT2000 knee joint arthrometers (MEDmetric Corp, San Diego, California) have been shown to overestimate the measurement of knee joint sagittal laxity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of the KT arthrometers as measures of anterior and posterior linear displacement. The anterior and posterior linear displacements of 3 KT arthrometers (2 KT1000 arthrometers ...
