Abstract:

The three specific aims of this current ongoing project include 1 the characterization of the human and monkey photoreceptor lattice 2 the study of new spatial discriminations in two-dimensions including circle center, area, and dot density discriminations, and 3 the expansion and generalization of current models of one-dimensional spatial discriminations such as spatial-frequency, line separation, and vernier acuity.
