Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study we have investigated how a stimulation of melanopsin ganglion cells contributes to visual pathway using several psychophysical and neurological techniques. We used a multi-primary stimulation system that enables us to stimulate each photoreceptor independently based on silent-substitution technique. In addition we have developed a multi-primary display system and measured contrast sensitivities as a function of spatial frequency.
