Amblyopia, A Multidisciplinary Approach

The document discusses the effect of positional noise on contour detection for normal eyes versus amblyopic eyes. Figures 2.17A-F show that as positional noise (positional sigma) increases, the ability to detect contours decreases more sharply for amblyopic eyes compared to normal eyes. The type of contour (curvature) does not affect this relationship. It remains unclear whether positional uncertainty causes anomalous lateral interactions or vice versa in amblyopic eyes. More research is needed to understand how position is encoded, especially for well-separated elements.

anomalous lateral interactions, or do anomalous lateral interactions result in


positional uncertainty?

A POSSIBLE SNAKE

The major problem in amblyopia is positional uncertainty, yet we know so


little about how we encode position - at least for well-separated elements
