Short term modification of disparity vergence eye movements
Dynamics of disparity vergence eye movements can be modified by adaptive stimuli that generate large transient disparities. These modifications were observed for convergence as well as divergence eye movements. After modification, the peak velocities of the step responses for convergence and divergence were substantially higher than in normal baseline responses, a change observed in all four su...
متن کاملNonlinear alteration of transient vergence dynamics after sustained convergence.
BACKGROUND Adaptation models of the horizontal disparity vergence system assume a nonadaptable transient component. They also predict identical postadaptation dynamics during convergence and divergence movements. METHOD To test the adaptation property of the transient component, a set of experiments were performed in which closed-loop vergence dynamics measured before and after sustained conv...
متن کاملShort Term Adaptation Exists in the Disparity Vergence System Exhibited by a Decrease in the Response Dynamics
In order to survive, humans have learned to adapt to their environment. Evidence of adaptation is present in many physiological systems. This study shows the disparity vergence system also adapts to environmental conditions. Two types of step stimuli, a small stimulus of one degree and a large stimulus of four or eight degree, were presented to subjects using a haploscope configuration. There w...
متن کاملSustained convergence induced changes in phoria and divergence dynamics
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate how sustained convergence induces phoria adaptation and changes divergence dynamics. METHODS Near dissociated phoria and divergence step responses were recorded using an infrared eye movement monitor on four binocularly normal subjects. We tested three different adapting vergence positions (16 degrees , 6 degrees , and 0.5 degrees ) and mea...
متن کاملShort-term adaptive modification of dynamic ocular accommodation.
PURPOSE Indirect observations suggest that the neural control of accommodation may undergo adaptive recalibration in response to age-related biomechanical changes in the accommodative system. However, there has been no direct demonstration of such an adaptive capability. This investigation was conducted to demonstrate short-term adaptation of accommodative step response dynamics to optically in...
