Modulation dependence of the accommodation response to sinusoidal gratings.

Abstract:

:The steady-state, monocular, accommodation response to sinusoidal grating targets (spatial frequencies 0.67, 2.0, 6.0 and 18 c/deg) at effective distances between 0.2 and 1.0 m was measured with a laser optometer, as a function of the grating modulation. In general, only a rather weak dependence of the response on modulation was observed. The results are discussed in terms of the theoretical modulation of the retinal image as a function of defocus. It is argued that the accommodative system usually works to produce a contrast in the grating image which is well above the detection threshold. Considerable inter-subject differences in response were observed, suggesting that a variety of strategies may be employed by different subjects when engaged upon the same voluntary accommodation task.

  • Centering biases in heterochromatic brightness matching.

    abstract::When the method of constant stimuli is used to measure heterochromatic brightness matches, the resulting matches can be strongly biased toward the center of the range of test luminances used. In the present paper, we investigate the source of this centering bias. The stimuli were 2 degrees red squares presented in a g...
