Contrast sensitivity of the human peripheral retina.
Threshold contrasts were measured psychophysically for a sinusoidal grating targetcentered 12’in the peripheral retina. The relationship between contrast sensitivity, the reciprocal ofthe threshold contrast, and the spatial frequency of the gratings can be adequately described by thedifference of two Gaussian functions. The parameters of the fitted Gaussians are used to describe...
متن کاملContrast sensitivity as a function of position on the retina.
Contrast sensitivity has been measured as a function of the eccentricity along several meridians. The measurements were carried out with a two-dimensional sinusoidal grating (cross grating) presented in a surround with a luminance equal to the average stimulus luminance. The advantage of this stimulus over a one-dimensional grating is that it permits presentation of small-sized stimuli. in a su...
متن کاملPeripheral cone contrast sensitivity in glaucoma
Colour vision tests for detection of glaucomatous damage frequently suffer from two problems: most tests are confined to foveal vision, whereas defects tend to appear first extrafoveally; and the modulation directions in colour space are not optimal. This paper deals with peripheral testing à la Yu, Falcao-Reis, Spileers and Arden [(1991) Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 32, 2779...
متن کاملPeripheral contrast sensitivity and attention in myopia
Disruption of normal visual experience or changes in the normal interaction between central and peripheral retinal input may lead to the development of myopia. In order to examine the relationship between peripheral contrast sensitivity and myopia, we manipulated attentional load for foveal vision in emmetropes and myopes while observers detected targets with peripheral vision. Peripheral contr...
متن کاملModulation sensitivity of ganglion cells in peripheral retina of macaque
There is ample psychophysical evidence that flicker is more salient in the peripheral than the central visual field, but the physiological basis of this eccentricity-dependant change is unclear. Here, we compared responsivity to temporal modulation of ganglion cells in central and peripheral primate retina. Above 30 Hz modulation frequency, both magnocellular (MC) and parvocellular (PC) pathway...
