In Experiment 1, the visual information used for face recognition was compared across four conditions that gradually reduced experimental control over the testing environment and stimulus properties.

To unite this research across disciplines and to allow progress in mechanistic understanding, we aimed to provide a definitive answer to whether there are different subtypes (factors) of visual hypersensitivity. In Study 1, we generated questions from a large qualitative dataset (n = 765), existing literatures, questionnaires, and iteratively from participant feedback. We found four theoretically coherent factors replicated across five cohorts (n’s = 349, 517, 349, 417, 797 and 1817). These factors were: brightness (e.g., sunlight), repeating patterns (e.g., stripes), strobing (e.g., flashing, screen motion), and intense visual environments (e.g., supermarkets, traffic). There was also a general factor. Based on this we produced a novel 20-item questionnaire (the Cardiff Hypersensitivity Scale, CHYPS), with good reliability (<strong>α</strong> > 0.8, ω > 0.8) and convergent validity (correlations with other visual scales r > 0.6). We discuss how these factors can be related to causal theories of hypersensitivity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"233 ","pages":"Article 108610"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144083934","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}

Additionally, we introduced conditions with and without competing stimuli (a black patch on the opposite side to the original white patch that is supposed to elicit pupil contraction) to investigate the role of visual competition in PLR modulation and explored the pupillary dark response (PDR) to assess whether attentional biases affect pupil dilation. Contrary to our hypothesis, we did not observe a significant pseudoneglect effect, as pupil constriction was not consistently greater for left-sided stimuli. We found clear evidence for contraction anisocoria, whereby ipsilateral stimuli produce stronger constrictions than contralateral stimuli, thus highlighting the need to account for this physiological effect in future studies. Regarding PDR, we did not find significant attentional modulation or evidence of dilation anisocoria as pupil dilation amplitudes were similar across both hemifields.

It therefore has been suggested that the difference in modality is an important but not necessarily dominant factor for beat synchronization. However, doubts exist in favoring auditory dominance, as comparing continuously varying visual stimuli with discrete auditory stimuli is considered unfair. Here, based on a periodically contracting ring for which the spatial displacement continuously varied with a constant acceleration, we devised an equivalent in the auditory domain: an amplitude-modulated sound whose amplitude continuously varied with an acceleration of the same magnitude. The results showed that beat synchronization performance of the amplitude-modulated sound was not greater than that of the tone or the contracting ring.

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}

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.
