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 ...

Comparison between CIE 2° and 10° field photopic luminosity functions V(λ) for calculating daylight discomfort glare metrics

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Sneha Jain

The spectral sensitivity of the average human eye in photopic conditions is represented by the photopic luminosity function V (λ). The CIE has established the photopic luminosity functions for the 2o and 10o visual fields for a standard observer applicable ...

Continuous Simulation Data Stream: A dynamical timescale-dependent output scheme for simulations

Loïc Hausammann

Exa-scale simulations are on the horizon but almost no new design for the output has been proposed in recent years. In simulations using individual time steps, the traditional snapshots are over resolving particles/cells with large time steps and are under ...

Investigation of electrical stimulation of the optic nerve for artificial vision

Vivien Gaillet

Thanks to recent technological advances in microelectronics and bioengineering, it is now possible to restore lost or impaired sensory modalities by interfering the nervous system with elec-tronic devices and artificially reproducing the electrical encodin ...

What is the 'spectral diet' of humans?

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler

Our visual perception of the world - seeing form and colour or navigating the environment - depends on the interaction of light and matter in the environment. Light also has a more fundamental role in regulating rhythms in physiology and behaviour, as well ...

Image reproduction with compensation of luminance adaptation

Mahmut Sami Arpa

We introduce an image reproduction model that retargets colors for printing purposes to ensure similar luminance perception under photopic and scotopic vision. Our model is based on the physiological functioning of the rod and cone cells in the retina in v ...

How grouping determines crowding

Michael Herzog

Crowding is traditionally thought to occur by local interactions between the target and the neighboring flankers, for example, by pooling neural responses corresponding to both the target and flankers. Accordingly, crowding is thought to occur within a sma ...

Semi-automatic 3D morphological reconstruction of neurons with densely branching morphology: Application to retinal All amacrine cells imaged with multi -photon excitation microscopy

Bas-Jan Zandt

Background: Accurate reconstruction of the morphology of single neurons is important for morphometric studies and for developing compartmental models. However, manual morphological reconstruction can be extremely time-consuming and error-prone and algorith ...

Gaze and discomfort glare, Part 1: Development of a gaze-driven photometry

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Mandana Sarey Khanie

Discomfort glare is a major challenge for the design of workplaces. The existing metrics for discomfort glare prediction share the limitation that they do not take gaze direction into account. In order to overcome this limitation, we developed a ‘gaze-driv ...

Putting low-level vision into global context: Why vision cannot be reduced to basic circuits

Michael Herzog, Yvonne Evelina Thunell

To cope with the complexity of vision, most models in neuroscience and computer vision are of hierarchical and feedforward nature. Low-level vision, such as edge and motion detection, is explained by basic low-level neural circuits, whose outputs serve as ...

Purkinje Images: Conveying Different Content for Different Luminance Adaptations in a Single Image

Mahmut Sami Arpa

Providing multiple meanings in a single piece of art has always been intriguing to both artists and observers. We present Purkinje images, which have different interpretations depending on the luminance adaptation of the observer. Finding such images is an ...

Targets but not flankers are suppressed in crowding as revealed by EEG frequency tagging

Michael Herzog, Vitaly Chicherov

Perception of a visual target can strongly deteriorate in the presence of flanking elements (crowding). For example, adding lines next to a vernier makes vernier offset discrimination difficult. Crowding is often considered a bottleneck of low-level vision ...

Differential Dimerization of Variants Linked to Enhanced S-Cone Sensitivity Syndrome (ESCS) Located in the NR2E3 Ligand-Binding Domain

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex

NR2E3 encodes the photoreceptor-specific nuclear hormone receptor that acts as a repressor of cone-specific gene expression in rod photoreceptors, and as an activator of several rod-specific genes. Recessive variants located in the ligand-binding domain (L ...

Vision in clutter : neural correlates of visual crowding

Vitaly Chicherov

Perception of a visual target can strongly deteriorate in the presence of flanking elements (crowding). Crowding is the main limiting factor in reading and a major contributor to poor vision in amblyopia. In crowding, elements appear jumbled and thus are h ...

Curved Holographic Combiner for Color Head Worn Display

Jürgen Brugger, Christophe Moser, Victor Javier Cadarso Busto, Jonas Grossenbacher, Eric Tremblay, Arnaud Mader

A volume hologram recorded with a lens array is proposed as a color transflective screen for Head Worn Display (HWD) systems. Design, fabrication as well as proof of concept are reported. Light from a single MEMS-based projector is efficiently diffracted t ...

A novel homozygous R764H mutation in crumbs homolog 1 causes autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa

Purpose: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP; MIM 268000) is a hereditary disease characterized by poor night vision and progressive loss of photoreceptors, eventually leading to blindness. This degenerative process primarily affects peripheral vision due to the loss ...

Time course of visual information processing in adolescents

Michael Herzog

Visual backward masking is a well suited technique to investigate intact and deficient visual information processing. Whereas visual backward masking has been studied extensively in adult populations, there is only a limited number of investigations in ado ...

Figural grouping affects contextual modulation in low level vision

Michael Herzog

Embedding a target within contextual elements can influence performance in visual tasks. For example, when a vernier is flanked by two lines, discrimination performance deteriorates strongly compared to unflanked presentation. This contextual modulation is ...

Grouping explains contextual modulation in low level vision

Performance on a target can be modified by contextual elements. For example, when a Vernier is flanked by two lines, offset discrimination deteriorates compared to an unflanked presentation. This contextual modulation is usually explained by local spatial ...
