Ocular accommodation and wavelength: The effect of longitudinal chromatic aberration on the stimulus-response curve. (2024)
Journal Article
Fernandez-Alonso, M., Finch, A. P., Love, G. D., & Read, J. C. A. (2024). Ocular accommodation and wavelength: The effect of longitudinal chromatic aberration on the stimulus-response curve. Journal of Vision, 24(2), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.24.2.11

The longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA) of the eye creates a chromatic blur on the retina that is an important cue for accommodation. Although this mechanism can work optimally in broadband illuminants such as daylight, it is not clear how the sy...

The sound of a river can change from a babbling brook to a thunderous torrent, and we have previously shown that there is the potential to predict river stage from the river's sub-aerial sound. Here, we examined how alterations in channel configurati... Read More about The Influence of In‐Channel Obstacles on River Sound.
