TL;DR: The approach of the present paper is to suggest that the basic data structure of perceptual coding consists of two-dimensional laminar mapping, and that successive stages of remapping, along with columnar architecture, may provide important computational functions.

TL;DR: A simple model is applied to the “anti” task, the Wheeless 2-step task and forewarning, which shows great flexibility in its choice of goal, but is rather stereotyped in timing.

TL;DR: Evidence from different lines of experimentation and deduction indicates that the light damage in the rat from exposure for several hours or days is initiated by rhodopsin absorption, and the mutant (rdy) rat is abnormally susceptible to both kinds of damage.

TL;DR: This paper showed that the magnitude of depth of focus is inversely proportional to the size of the eye and its visual acuity, and that small eyes with low acuity should have large depths of focus.

TL;DR: Wavelengths between 400–1400 nm are transmitted by the mammalian ocular media to the retina and it is suggested that melanin plays a key role in all three types of damage.

TL;DR: The small amount of summation observed at low spatial and high temporal frequencies is approximately consistent with the action of direction-selective mechanisms, as proposed by Levinson and Sekuler (1975) , provided that probability summation between such mechanisms is taken into account.

TL;DR: Comparison sensitivity has been measured as a function of the eccentricity along several meridians with a two-dimensional sinusoidal grating presented in a surround with a luminance equal to the average stimulus luminance.

TL;DR: Findings imply that sharp edges are not necessary for accurate accommodative responses, and suggest that mechanisms underlying foveal contrast resolution are also involved in the control of steady-state accommodation.

TL;DR: Photorefractive measurements, including longitudinal measures on a group of infants, show that the marked astigmatism that is common during the first year of life declines to adult levels of incidence by about 18 months.

TL;DR: The overwhelming body of evidence indicates that microsaccades contribute nothing of consequence to either oculomotor control or vision (cf. Steinman et al., 1973; Steinman, 1975, 1976).

TL;DR: Prolonged viewing of fields varying in luminance as a sawtooth function of time selectively raises the detection threshold for incremental and decremental pulses and steps, and this finding cannot be accounted for by the model proposed by Rashbass J.

TL;DR: Comparisons were made between the durations of the H and V components of oblique saccades, made by alert chronic cats in either the light or dark, and these durations were compared to those of pure H or V movements of the same amplitude.

TL;DR: Dynamic visual noise was constrained to produce perceptually continuous unidirectional flow by plotting dots in pairs the members of which were consistently separated in time and in space.

TL;DR: Under open-loop Sinusoidal target motion was synthesized using appropriate position-only and velocity-only “components”, the response was about the same as for real sinusoidal motion, suggesting a dominant role for target position in both cases.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the inherent susceptibility of the retina to light damage is about the same in albino and pigmented rats and that ocular pigmentation protects against damage primarily by lowering the retinal irradiance.

TL;DR: There is a similar difference in the behaviour of strabismic and anisometropic amblyopia, which suggests that these two forms of “functional” amblyopian do not have identical neural bases.

TL;DR: It is shown that microsaccades are much less common during brief fixations interposed between larger eye movements, in activities such as reading, than they are during prolonged fixation, which implies that they must be performing some important function.

TL;DR: Tests of the hypothesis that a 200 msec 667 nm, foveal test flash, presented upon a steady, 8° background, is detected by a pathway whose sensitivity is monotonically related to a linear functional of photoreceptor quantum catch are reported.

TL;DR: The experimental data can be interpreted as an integration of information about extra-foveal regions of the visual field at the saccade goal with later information obtained by foveal fixation after the eye movement.

TL;DR: (i) Saccadic movements which displace the visual axis through distances having median values of 3’ to 6’ in about 25 msec; maximum speeds of ZOO’/sec are involved.

TL;DR: The development of axial enlargement accompanied by a flattening of the cornea, following lid suture in chicks is described, which tends to optically antagonize the myopic enlargement.

TL;DR: It is found that the use of yellow light, at illuminances sufficient to isolate blue cones, seriously reduces and significantly distorts the modulation sensitivity function of the blue-cone system, for reasons unrelated to the direct absorption of longwave photons by blue cones.

TL;DR: Thresholds for discriminating between the spatial phase relationship of the two component sinusoids ƒ and 3ƒ of a complex waveform were measured as a function of spatial frequency, finding sensitivity to phase varies across the phase range.

TL;DR: The retinal receptors of H. burtoni appear to be well matched to important visual recognition tasks and spectral shape, pigment absorbance and the λ max of photo-products are characteristic of A 1 based pigments.

TL;DR: Analysis of cell areas demonstrates that the central area contains exclusively small to medium-sized cells with large cells first appearing approximately 1 mm from the area centralis, which reveals specialized areas of high ganglion cell density.

TL;DR: A direct comparison technique for measuring the dichroism responsible for the Haidinger brush effect is described, together with a subsidiary method for assessing the birefringence of the cornea that shows results consistent with the theory of a symmetrical arrangement of a fraction of the macular pigment molecules.

TL;DR: The temporal tuning function at low spatial frequencies reaches adult levels during early infancy, while the temporal tuned function at higher spatial frequencies develops more slowly.

TL;DR: A prototype surgical illuminator is described which reduces retinal irradiance to 1/900th of that from conventional microscope light sources, while maintaining equivalent illumination of the anterior segment.

TL;DR: The data indicate that, concerning a just-completed eye movement, information available for control of voluntary saccades is no different from that used to perform a visual localization task, and pursuit of a target moving repetitively over a path is subject to considerable underestimation.
