Purpose: To assess the feasibility of macular integrity assessment (MAIA) microperimetry (MP) in children. Also to establish representative outcome measures (differential light sensitivity, fixation stability, test–retest reliability) for children wi...

How vision and self-motion combine or compete during path reproduction changes with age (2016)
Journal Article
Petrini, K., Caradonna, A., Foster, C., Burgess, N., & Nardini, M. (2016). How vision and self-motion combine or compete during path reproduction changes with age. Scientific Reports, 6, Article 29163. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep29163

Human adults can optimally integrate visual and non-visual self-motion cues when navigating, while children up to 8 years old cannot. Whether older children can is unknown, limiting our understanding of how our internal multisensory representation of...

Dissociations in coherence sensitivity reveal atypical development of cortical visual processing in congenital achromatopsia (2016)
Journal Article
Burton, E., Wattam-Bell, J., Rubin, G., Aboshiha, J., Michaelides, M., Atkinson, J., …Nardini, M. (2016). Dissociations in coherence sensitivity reveal atypical development of cortical visual processing in congenital achromatopsia. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 57(4), 2251-2259. https://doi.org/10.1167/iovs.15-18414

Purpose: While basic visual functions have been described in subjects with congenital achromatopsia (ACHM), little is known about their mid- or high-level cortical visual processing. We compared midlevel cortical visual processing in ACHM subjects (n...

Cortical Processing of Global Form, Motion and Biological Motion Under Low Light Levels (2016)
Journal Article
Burton, E., Wattam-Bell, J., Rubin, G., Atkinson, J., Braddick, O., & Nardini, M. (2016). Cortical Processing of Global Form, Motion and Biological Motion Under Low Light Levels. Vision Research, 121, 39-49. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2016.01.008

Advances in potential treatments for rod and cone dystrophies have increased the need to understand the contributions of rods and cones to higher-level cortical vision. We measured form, motion and biological motion coherence thresholds and EEG stead... Read More about Cortical Processing of Global Form, Motion and Biological Motion Under Low Light Levels.

The effect of blur on cortical responses to global form and motion (2015)
Journal Article
Burton, E., Wattam-Bell, J., Rubin, G., Atkinson, J., Braddick, O., & Nardini, M. (2015). The effect of blur on cortical responses to global form and motion. Journal of Vision, 15(15), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1167/15.15.12

Global form and motion sensitivity undergo long development in childhood with motion sensitivity rather than form being impaired in a number of childhood disorders and both impaired in adult clinical populations. This suggests extended development an... Read More about The effect of blur on cortical responses to global form and motion.

Digital LED Pixels: Instructions for use and a characterization of their properties (2015)
Journal Article
Jones, P., Garcia, S., & Nardini, M. (2016). Digital LED Pixels: Instructions for use and a characterization of their properties. Behavior Research Methods, 48(4), 1266-1284. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-015-0653-5

This article details how to control light emitting diodes (LEDs) using an ordinary desktop computer. By combining digitally addressable LEDs with an off-the-shelf microcontroller (Arduino), multiple LEDs can be controlled independently and with a hig...

Late development of cue integration is linked to sensory fusion in cortex (2015)
Journal Article
Dekker, T., Ban, H., Van der Velde, B., Sereno, M., Welchman, A., & Nardini, M. (2015). Late development of cue integration is linked to sensory fusion in cortex. Current Biology, 25(21), 2856-2861. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2015.09.043

Adults optimize perceptual judgements by integrating different types of sensory information [ 1, 2 ]. This engages specialized neural circuits that fuse signals from the same [ 3–5 ] or different [ 6 ] modalities. Whereas young children can use senso...

Optimizing the rapid measurement of detection thresholds in infants (2015)
Journal Article
Jones, P., Kalwarowsky, S., Braddick, O., Atkinson, J., & Nardini, M. (2015). Optimizing the rapid measurement of detection thresholds in infants. Journal of Vision, 15(11), 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1167/15.11.2

Accurate measures of perceptual threshold are difficult to obtain in infants. In a clinical context, the challenges are particularly acute because the methods must yield meaningful results quickly and within a single individual. The present work cons...

Hearing where the eyes see: children use an irrelevant visual cue when localising sound (2015)
Journal Article
Petrini, K., Jones, P., Smith, L., & Nardini, M. (2015). Hearing where the eyes see: children use an irrelevant visual cue when localising sound. Child Development, 86(5), 1449-1457. https://doi.org/10.1111/cdev.12397

To reduce sensory uncertainty, humans combine cues from multiple senses. However, in everyday life, many co-occurring cues are irrelevant to the task at hand. How do humans know which cues to ignore? And does this ability change with development? Thi... Read More about Hearing where the eyes see: children use an irrelevant visual cue when localising sound.

Visual and non-visual navigation in blind patients with a retinal prosthesis (2015)
Journal Article
Garcia, S., Petrini, K., Rubin, G., Da Cruz, L., & Nardini, M. (2015). Visual and non-visual navigation in blind patients with a retinal prosthesis. PLoS ONE, 10(7), Article e0134369. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0134369

Human adults with normal vision can combine visual landmark and non-visual self-motion cues to improve their navigational precision. Here we asked whether blind individuals treated with a retinal prosthesis could also benefit from using the resultant...
