LIGHTING EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING ABILITY OF POULTRY TO RECOGNIZE RED OBJECTS
A lighting experimental system and a lighting experimental method for reducing the ability of the poultry to recognize the red objects are provided, wherein wooden testing box is provided with an opening at the top thereof, a square adjustable light-emitting diode (LED) light source is disposed directly above the opening of the wooden testing box, a first black backdrop is fixedly laid on a surface of each inner wall of four sides of the wooden testing box, a horizontal trough is provided at the bottom of the wooden testing box, a feed box is disposed in the horizontal trough, and the feed box is connected to an electric push rod; two color photographic papers are fixed on an inner wall, directly above the horizontal trough, of the wooden testing box, pressure sensors are disposed between the color photographic papers and the inner wall of the wooden testing box.
DEVICE AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING COLOR VISION
The present disclosure relates to a method for assessing color vision. The method includes identifying one or more steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) to identify metamers. The present disclosure further relates to devices for assessing color vision that use metamers identified via steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs). Also disclosed herein are methods of treating color vision deficiency, systems for identifying a response to one or more metameric stimuli, methods of individually modifying color vision, methods for assessing color vision using neural activity as a means to personalize visual displays, and methods for assessing light sensitive cells in the nervous system using flashing lights.
Authoring and optimization of accessible color themes
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to computer storage, methods, and systems for the optimization of accessible color themes. Systems and methods are disclosed that leverage the use of confusion lines to identify and highlight relationships between colors that may be inaccessible (e.g., indistinguishable) for a person with a vision impairment, such as a color vision deficiency. In some embodiments, a graphical user interface is provided that, based on a selection of colors in a color wheel, visually indicates curves of confusion for each color in the selection of colors. Each curve of confusion visually indicates a confusion of colors for a type of vision impairment, such as a CVD.
TRAINING METHOD, PROGRAM AND COMPUTING DEVICE FOR AMELIORATING VISUAL FIELD DEFECT
Disclosed are training method, program and computing device to ameliorate visual field defect. The method includes presenting, by a computer, a virtual first object on a screen, wherein the first object is presented in an approaching manner toward the subject from a first position to a second position, when a position of the first object reaches the second position, the dividing, by the computer, of the first object into objects and presenting the divided objects on the screen or removing, by the computer, the first object from the screen, when the first object is divided or removed, presenting, by the computer, a virtual second object and a virtual third object on the screen, and receiving, by the computer, an identification input about the second object and the third object from a response input device of the subject.
Photobleaching method
The present disclosure provides an improved method for photobleaching an eye of a subject. The disclosed method may be used in a number of psychophysical test methods, including, but not limited to, measurement of dark adaptation. The improved method for photobleaching involves at least one of the following improvements: (i) the use of a bleaching light emitting a particular wavelength of light or a tailored spectrum of wavelengths; (ii) restricting or otherwise spatially tailoring the region of the retina that is subject to photobleaching; and (iii) utilizing a bleaching light having an intensity that is at or below the intensity of ambient daylight. The present disclosure additionally provides a combination of a photobleaching light and an apparatus to administer a psychophysical test suitable for use in practicing the disclosed methods.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTION AND ASSESSMENT OF MARIJUANA IMPAIRMENT
A method of identifying individuals impaired by a psychoactive substance such as cannabis. The method includes presenting monocularly to a subject being tested; to each eye separately, a sinusoidal grating pattern of fixed spatial frequency with achromatic contrast or color contrast between grating stripes being temporally alternately modulated at a temporal frequency that ranges between 10 Hz and 60 Hz with a pattern of the contrast being such that the subject being tested can see a frequency doubling in the grating pattern.

Visual field test assistance apparatus
A visual field test assistance apparatus infers a current visual field status at each test point. A predetermined mixture distribution is applied to a prior-distribution, and parameters regarding the predetermined mixture distribution are learned with reference to time-series information of visual field test results obtained in the past regarding a plurality of cases. The visual field test assistance apparatus calculates an inference test result vector representing an inference result of visual sensitivity to be obtained by the visual field test at each test point, by Bayesian inference, and performs an information output process on the basis of the inference test result vector obtained by the inference.
