A review of this literature leads to the conclusion that the distortions and discomfort can have their basis in an excitability of the visual cortex. Tinted lenses of an individually selected hue and saturation reduce the discomfort, possibly because the resulting change in the cortical distribution of activation avoids locally excitable tissue. The above conclusion is reached as follows. Images from nature, despite their heterogeneity, have in common certain statistical features that enable them to be encoded efficiently by the human visual system. Certain images that have an un-natural spatial and chromatic structure (including text) can be uncomfortable to look at. They can give rise to a large cortical haemodynamic response, consistent with indications from computational neurology that they are processed inefficiently. There are large differences between people in susceptibility to discomfort from images. These differences reflect differences in medical history. When the spatial and chromatic structure of images deviates maximally from those found in nature, susceptible individuals are liable to discomfort, migraine and/or seizures, a liability that individually coloured filters can sometimes reduce.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 108615"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143887178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, pattern onsets produce large and reliable evoked potentials for chromatic stimuli, while pattern reversal responses are considerably weaker. These differences likely arise in part from the transient and sustained nature of the achromatic and chromatic pathways, respectively; contrast adaption of the sustained, chromatic pathways may also contribute to these observations, as time-averaged contrast is higher for pattern reversals than for pattern onsets. Evidence suggests chromatic pathways may also be tuned for orientation similar to achromatic pathways. Changing orientations may stimulate additional neural populations and reduce contrast adaptation’s effect on the evoked potential. We recorded responses to chromatic and achromatic patterns using both onsets and reversals, with and without alternating orientation. As a control, we included a “reversing” onset condition with a 180-degree spatial shift between presentations. Results revealed that responses binned over 6 s did not exhibit adaptation over 60 s. Chromatic onsets with alternating orientation or phase resulted in larger amplitudes and shorter latencies. Both orientation and phase changes increased chromatic onset responses for the L-M axis, but VEP amplitudes were smaller for alternating phases than for alternating orientations on the S-axis. One possible explanation is that in addition to recruiting different orientation-selective neurons, alternating phase or orientation produces motion responses, which are more prominent in L-M pathways than S pathways. Alternating the phases or orientations of the patterns likely increases the evoked response by recruiting additional neuron populations but at the cost of pathway specificity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 108609"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143881536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Substantial asymmetry between S+ and S− was found in pedestal discrimination thresholds, but not in S+ and S− perceptual scales: perceived S cone contrast was nearly linear with S cone contrast for both polarities. To reconcile perceptual scales and thresholds, a model is proposed in which the noise in the S cone pathway is assumed to be proportional to the square root of stimulus contrast.

Recent decades have seen growing interest in understanding the role of spatial frequencies (SFs) in emotion perception in others. While some studies have suggested a preferential treatment of low versus high SFs, the optimal SFs for recognizing basic facial expressions remain elusive. This study, conducted on Western participants, addresses this gap using two complementary methods: a data-driven method (Exp. 1) without arbitrary SF cut-offs, and a more naturalistic method (Exp. 2) simulating variations in viewing distance. Results generally showed a preponderant role of low over high SFs, but particularly stress that facial expression categorization mostly relies on mid-range SF content (i.e. ∼6–13 cycles per face), often overlooked in previous studies. Optimal performance was observed at short to medium viewing distances (1.2–2.4 m), declining sharply with increased distance, precisely when mid-range SFs were no longer available. Additionally, our data suggest variations in SF tuning profiles across basic facial expressions and nuanced contributions from low and mid SFs in facial expression processing. Most importantly, it suggests that any method that removes mid-SF content has the downfall of offering an incomplete account of SFs diagnosticity for facial expression recognition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 108611"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this narrative review, we focus on the impact of amblyopia on visual attention. A structured literature search revealed 28 articles reporting comparisons between amblyopia and normal vision control groups for a variety of visual attention tasks. Several of these articles also included neuroimaging measures. A review of these articles suggested that amblyopia does not affect behavioral performance of tasks with a low attentional load, such as cuing tasks, but deficits emerge for tasks with high demands on visual attention such as multiple object tracking. Deficits are not limited to the amblyopic eye but are also evident under fellow eye and binocular viewing conditions suggesting that abnormal early binocular visual experience can fundamentally alter the development of visual attention. Overall, the current literature suggests that amblyopia is associated with reduced visual attention resources. We raise the possibility that this attention resource deficit may be partially associated with an attentional demand for suppression of the amblyopic eye.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 108606"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Related to this, the visual crowding effect is weaker in letter reading than in recognizing symbols in a string. A previous study reported that crowding reduction was observed exclusively in horizontal strings by participants with extensive reading experience in horizontal text strings. In the present study, we examined letter identification performance across various string orientations among Japanese readers with extensive experience reading both vertically and horizontally oriented texts. Through three experiments, we observed crowding reduction among Japanese readers in vertical test strings. Additionally, the observed crowding reduction was not robust when reading strings along unfamiliar orientations, such as diagonal orientations. These findings suggest that reading experience with specific text orientations adaptively shapes the spatial properties of letter-specific detection units. However, our results also indicate that reading experience has limited influence. For example, crowding reduction was not as robust for Japanese letters as it was for alphabet letters, showing that the influence of reading experience on crowding reduction depends on letter type, whereas letter type in previous reading does not matter. Furthermore, when the strings aligned with the zone where stronger crowding occurs, irrespective of letter type, crowding reduction was not robust, even for alphabet. These results imply that the reading experience could affect only a specific part of letter identification, which is likely important for alphabet identification in higher-level processing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 108598"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143887177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is followed by a description of more definitive indices of binocular interaction afforded by studies of dichoptic masking and intermodulation.
