The magnitude of longitudinal chromatic aberration of the human eye between 458 and 633 nm.

abstract：:Foreknowledge about the demands of an upcoming trial may be exploited to optimize behavioural responses. In the current study we systematically investigated the benefits of partial foreknowledge--that is, when some but not all aspects of a future trial are known in advance. For this we used an ocular motor paradigm wi...
