We assessed the relationship between temporal resolution and MS-induced neuropathy. A diagnostic strategy comprising assessments of temporal resolution at 16 points in the extra-foveal visual field up to 12 degrees from the fovea was first compared with foveal temporal resolution and with a standard VEP procedure in the same MS patients. At the group level, foveal temporal resolution was less s...

Two experiments were conducted to examine the effects of foveal processing difficulty on the perceptual span in reading. Subjects read sentences while their eye movements were recorded. By changing the text contingent on the reader's current point of fixation, foveal processing difficulty and the availability of parafoveal word information were independently manipulated. In Experiment 1, foveal...

Background & Aim: A gag reflex (GR) can be a problem to compliance and delivery of dental treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of Diospyros kaki L. fruit extract in controlling gag reflex during dental treatment. Experimental: Our study was a randomized double blind controlled trial with convenient sampling on 84 patients that is candidate for ra...

A nonlinear estimation problem motivated by attentive vision in the human visual system is considered. In human vision, eye and head motion are used to bring objects of interest into the high resolution foveal regions of the retina. Accurate estimates of target position are thereby attained in certain target tracking situations using sensors (eyes) having nonuniform and mostly low acuity. This ...

We introduce a system that adds a foveal inset to large-scale projection displays. The effective resolution of the foveal inset projection is higher than the original display resolution, allowing the user to see more details and finer features in large data sets. The foveal inset is generated by projecting a high-resolution image onto a mirror mounted on a panCtilt unit that is controlled by th...

background: several prognostic factors exist influencing the outcome of surgical discectomy in the patients with lumbar disc herniation (ldh). the aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between severity of preoperative impaired ankle reflex and outcomes of lumbar discectomy in the patients with l5-s1 ldh. methods: we retrospectively evaluated 181 patients (108 male and 73 female) who...
