Temporal constraints on lens compensation in chicksJonathan Winawer
The City College of the City University of New York, New York, NY 10031, USA
Vision Res 42:2651-68. 2002..It may therefore be necessary to quantify more complex temporal patterns of nearwork over the day in order to measure the impact of nearwork on eye growth...- Russian blues reveal effects of language on color discriminationJonathan Winawer
Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139 4307, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:7780-5. 2007..These results demonstrate that (i) categories in language affect performance on simple perceptual color tasks and (ii) the effect of language is online (and can be disrupted by verbal interference)... - Ocular compensation for alternating myopic and hyperopic defocusJonathan Winawer
Department of Biology, City College, City University of New York, New York, NY 10031, USA
Vision Res 45:1667-77. 2005..If similar temporal integration effects apply to humans, they may help explain why brief accommodation events may not influence lens-compensation and why a child's total reading time may be a poor predictor of myopic progression... - In a matter of minutes, the eye can know which way to growXiaoying Zhu
Department of Biology, City College, City University of New York CUNY, New York, New York 10031, USA
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 46:2238-41. 2005..The rapid changes in choroidal thickness in response to brief periods of defocus were measured... - Further evidence that chick eyes use the sign of blur in spectacle lens compensationTae Woo Park
Department of Biology, City College, City University of New York, New York, NY 10031, USA
Vision Res 43:1519-31. 2003..These findings argue both that the eye can discern the sign of the blur and that choroidal and ocular-elongation components of the refractive compensation do not respond identically to visual inputs... - Homeostasis of eye growth and the question of myopiaJosh Wallman
Department of Biology, City College of the City University of New York, New York, New York 10031, USA
Neuron 43:447-68. 2004.... - Synesthetic colors determined by having colored refrigerator magnets in childhoodNathan Witthoft
Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 94305, USA
Cortex 42:175-83. 2006..This suggests that the level of representation at which her synesthesia arises is early in the stream of visual processing... - Structural integration in language and music: evidence for a shared systemEvelina Fedorenko
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
Mem Cognit 37:1-9. 2009..These results provide evidence for an overlap in structural processing between language and music... - Image segmentation and lightness perceptionBarton L Anderson
University of New South Wales, School of Psychology, Sydney, New South Wales 2052, Australia
Nature 434:79-83. 2005..These results indicate that mechanisms involved in decomposing images into layered representations can play a decisive role in the perception of surface lightness... - Temporal constraints on experimental emmetropization in infant monkeysChea su Kee
College of Optometry, University of Houston, Houston, Texas, USA
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 48:957-62. 2007..To characterize the temporal integration properties of the emmetropization process, the authors investigated the effects of brief daily interruptions of lens wear on the ocular compensation for negative lenses in infant rhesus monkeys... - A motion aftereffect from still photographs depicting motionJonathan Winawer
Stanford University, Psychology Department, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
Psychol Sci 19:276-83. 2008..The transfer of adaptation from motion depicted in photographs to real motion demonstrates that the perception of implied motion activates direction-selective circuits that are also involved in processing real motion...
