Discomfort glare from daylight: Influence of transmitted color and the eye's macular pigment

Sneha Jain

Designing architectural façades that allow sufficient daylight to create visually comfortable and pleasant environments is a challenging aspect of building design. It requires accounting for visual comfort and discomfort glare risks and understanding the f ...

Influence of macular pigment on the sensitivity to discomfort glare from daylight

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Sneha Jain

Understanding the factors that influence the human perception of glare is necessary to properly address glare risks in buildings and achieve comfortable visual environments, especially in the workplace. Yet large inter-individual variabilities in glare per ...

Extreme Spatial Dispersion in Nonlocally Resonant Elastic Metamaterials

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Aleksi Antoine Bossart

To date, the vast majority of architected materials have leveraged two physical principles to control wave behavior, namely, Bragg interference and local resonances. Here, we describe a third path: structures that accommodate a finite number of delocalized ...

Removing Structured Noise With Self-Supervised Blind-Spot Networks

Martin Weigert

Removal of noise from fluorescence microscopy images is an important first step in many biological analysis pipelines. Current state-of-the-art supervised methods employ convolutional neural networks that are trained with clean (ground-truth) images. Recen ...

Discrete windows of feature integration

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

A car drives through the night. It is hard to estimate its color from single photoreceptor activity because photoreceptor activation is short and noisy. An efficient way to estimate the color is to average photoreceptor activities along the car’s motion tr ...

Reduced metabolic function and structural alterations in inherited retinal dystrophies: investigating the effect of peripapillary vessel oxygen saturation and vascular diameter on the retinal nerve fibre layer thickness

PurposeTo evaluate the relationship between the peripapillary metabolic alterations [retinal vessel Oximetry (RO)] and the structural findings [retinal vessel diameter and retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFL)] in patients with inherited retinal dystr ...

Overcoming the resolution limit in retinal imaging using the scattering properties of the sclera

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Timothé Laforest, Dino Carpentras

In-vivo imaging of the eye's fundus is widely used to study eye's health. State of the art Adaptive Optics devices can resolve features up to a lateral resolution of 1.5 um. This resolution is still above what is needed to observe subcellular structures su ...

Release of crowding by pattern completion

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Mauro Manassi

In crowding, target perception deteriorates in the presence of flanking elements. Crowding is classically explained by low-level mechanisms such as pooling or feature substitution. However, we have previously shown that perceptual grouping between the targ ...

Contour-integration deficits in intact visual field of hemianopia patients

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod

We investigated Gestalt perception in the intact visual field (VF) of hemianopia patients. Three patients and matched controls performed a Yes-No figure detection task. Gabor patches of one orientation, making up the outline of a square, were embedded in r ...

Retinal vessel oxygen saturation and its correlation with structural changes in retinitis pigmentosa

Purpose: To study the influence of retinal structural changes on oxygen saturation in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients. Methods: Oximetry measurements were performed on 21 eyes of 11 RP patients and compared to 24 eyes of 12 controls. Retinal oxygen satu ...

Grouping, pooling, and when bigger is better in visual crowding

Michael Herzog, Mauro Manassi

In crowding, perception of a target is strongly deteriorated by nearby elements. Crowding is often explained by pooling models predicting that adding flankers increases crowding. In contrast, the centroid hypothesis proposes that adding flankers decreases ...

Time-Dependent Approach for Single Trial Classification of Covert Visuospatial Attention

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Luca Tonin

Recently, several studies have started to explore covert visuospatial attention as a control signal for brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). Covert visuospatial attention represents the ability to change the focus of attention from one point in the space with ...

Quantifying target conspicuity in contextual modulation by visual search

Michael Herzog

Contextual elements can strongly modulate visual performance. For example, performance deteriorates when a vernier is flanked by neighboring lines. On a neural level, such contextual modulation is often explained by local spatial interactions such as later ...
