We measured the disparity thresholds of 37 subjects using sinusoidal disparity corrugations constructed from dynamic random-dot stereograms with spatial frequencies of 0.1, 0.4, and 0.8 cpd and 7 orientations (ranging from 0° to 90° in steps of 15°). Stereo thresholds for 0.1 cpd showed a strong anisotropy with disparity thresholds increasing from 90° (horizontal) to 0° (vertical). This anisotropy was reduced for the other two spatial frequencies.

Disruption in visuomotor control, characterized by slower arm movements and grasping errors, has been documented in children with amblyopia. This study aimed to characterize the effects of amblyopia on the temporal pattern of eye and hand coordination during the performance of a task that involves reaching, precision grasping, and placement. The study recruited 28 children with a history of amblyopia and 56 typically developing peers (age range 6–14 years). Children performed a bead-threading task while their eyes and hand movements were recorded concurrently. As hypothesized, children with amblyopia demonstrated poorer task performance, with greater deficits for the object manipulation compared to the reaching (transport) components. In comparison to their peers with normal vision, children with amblyopia had shorter reaction time for initiating eye and hand movement, longer object fixation duration to guide grasp execution and object placement, and lower eye-hand latency difference for the second movement indicating that the hand movement preceded eye initiation. These results suggest that children with amblyopia have poorer motor planning ability, which impacts movement execution. Longer fixations during object manipulations indicate that more time is required to transform the noisy visual input into a motor response. Overall, the study adds to the growing body of evidence highlighting deficits in visuomotor control in amblyopia.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"237 ","pages":"Article 108700"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145092696","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}

We compared segmentation thresholds for two kinds of second-order boundaries comprised of two species of micropatterns (e.g., horizontal and vertical Gabors): (1) <em>Feature boundaries</em>, with the same number of total micropatterns on opposite sides but different numbers of each micropattern species within each side, and (2) <em>Density boundaries</em>, with different numbers of total micropatterns on opposite sides, but with the same number of both micropattern species within each side. Contrary to the predictions of a standard <em>late-pooling</em> Filter-Rectify-Filter (FRF) model in which different micropattern specific first-order channels are analyzed by different second stage filters before pooling, we observed lower segmentation thresholds for density boundaries than feature boundaries. This suggests that density boundaries may be detected by a different, <em>early-pooling</em> mechanism. In a second experiment, we considered how two species of micropatterns combine for boundary segmentation. When two single-micropattern-species density boundaries are superimposed in-phase to form a new density boundary, the boundaries formed by each micropattern species combine via probability summation. By contrast, when two single-micropattern-species density boundaries are superimposed in opposite-phase to form a feature boundary, segmentation performance is worse than for either single-micropattern-species boundary alone. We conclude that the mechanisms for density-based texture segmentation are not identical to the mechanisms for feature-based segmentation and that density-sensitive mechanisms most likely integrate across multiple first-order filters responsive to different micropattern species.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"237 ","pages":"Article 108695"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145060599","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 investigate the magnocellular pathway’s role in metric spatial vision, we employed an adaptation paradigm. Exposure to a 60 Hz flickering disc array (subjectively invisible) induced a systematic compression in the perceived distance between subsequently presented dot pairs. This compression was strongest when adaptation preferentially modulated low spatial frequency channels, consistent with the properties of transient channels tuned to low spatial and high temporal frequencies. Crucially, this compression was attenuated when the adaptor consisted of two cyan lattices rotating on a magenta background near isoluminance, as confirmed by a global motion direction discrimination task. The same pattern emerged when test dots were isoluminant with the background, ruling out test-adaptor similarity as a critical factor. Finally, an isoluminant red-green adaptor flickering on a yellow background induced compression at 3 Hz, but not at 60 Hz. This dissociation aligns with the known properties of magnocellular neurons, which are insesitive to high temporal frequency isoluminant red-green modulation, but can respond to slow isoluminant red-green modulations.
