TL;DR: It is shown that, under conditions of contour interaction or 'crowding', the most relevant physical spatial frequency band of the letter is displaced to higher spatial frequencies and that foveal vision tracks this change in spatial scale.

TL;DR: The foveal thicknesses measured using OCT and the scanning RTA in healthy subjects agreed with the previously reported data on foveAL thickness, indicating that both instruments can reproducibly quantitate fveal thickness.
Abstract: PURPOSE To assess the reproducibility of retinal thickness measurements in normal subjects and to compare foveal thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the scanning retinal thickness analyzer (RTA). METHODS Two examiners performed foveal thickness measurements in 24 eyes of 12 healthy subjects using both OCT and the scanning RTA. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) (intra-examiner and inter-examiner) were calculated for the paired foveal thickness measurements obtained with each instrument. RESULTS The average foveal thicknesses measured with OCT and the scanning RTA were 155.1 +/- 14.9 microm and 107.8 +/- 18.6 microm, respectively. The intra-examiner ICCs from the two sessions using the OCT and the scanning RTA were 0.99 and 0.78 and 0.89 and 0.99, respectively. The inter-examiner ICCs of the OCT and the scanning RTA were 0.99 and 0.99, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the foveal thickness measurements with these two instruments (R2 = 0.629, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION The foveal thicknesses measured using OCT and the scanning RTA in healthy subjects agreed with the previously reported data on foveal thickness. Both instruments can reproducibly quantitate foveal thickness.

TL;DR: The different articles are a first indication that taking into account the split between the left and the right cerebral hemisphere need not be an inescapable nuisance in models of visual word recognition but may in fact form the clue to the solution of a longstanding problem within this literature.

TL;DR: High-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images of photoreceptor anatomic features provide a useful tool in assessing the visual potential in patients with albinism, and the size of the photorecept outer segment was found to be the strongest predictor of BCVA.

TL;DR: It is argued that both electrophysiological and psychophysical evidence indicates that Weber behavior starts whenever some small fixed number of quantum absorptions occur within an area of 1 mean interganglion cell distance across.
Abstract: Contrast detection thresholds for moving sine wave gratings were obtained at the fovea and at eccentricities of 6°, 21°, and 50° on the nasal horizontal meridian. The targets subtended from 30 × 30 minutes of arc up to 16° × 16°. Mean retinal illuminance was varied between 10 and 0.01 trolands. The transition from the de Vries–Rose to the Weber region occurs in the far peripheral visual field at a 2–3 decades lower illuminance level than at the fovea. The spatio-temporal contrast detection thresholds become comparable over the whole visual field if the mean distance between retinal ganglion cells is taken as a yardstick, and field width, spatial frequency, and quantum density are scaled accordingly. This means that at scotopic illuminance levels coarse or medium gratings are preferentially detected at other than foveal locations. (The fine gratings cannot be resolved at all at such levels.) It is argued that both electrophysiological and psychophysical evidence indicates that Weber behavior starts whenever some small fixed number of quantum absorptions occur within an area of 1 mean interganglion cell distance across. Or, equivalently, if a fixed small number of “neural quanta” enters a 100 × 100 μm2 area of the visual cortex.
