We compared the pupil responses originating from outer versus inner retinal photoreception between patients with isolated hereditary optic neuropathy (HON, n = 8) and healthy controls (n = 8). Three different testing protocols were used. For the first two ...
Progressive degeneration of photoreceptors is one of the major causes of adult blindness in “industrialized” countries; as an example, Retinitis pigmentosa defines a set of monogenic hereditary retinal diseases, with a prevalence of 1:4000 worldwide, cause ...
Background: The aim of this study was to describe an unexpected phenotype in a family with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) due to a retinal pigment epithelium-specific protein 65 kDa (RPE65) homozygous mutation. History and Signs: We analyzed a family fro ...
Sight restoration is one of the new frontiers for prosthetic devices that enable the electrical stimulation of neurons. In particular, diseases that affect the retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors but preserve the inner retinal layers are preferen ...
The retina is one of the best known quantum detectors with rods able to reliably respond to single photons. However, estimates on the number of photons eliciting conscious perception, based on signal detection theory, are systematically above these values ...
Phonological deficits in dyslexia are well documented. However, there is an ongoing discussion about whether visual deficits limit the reading skills of people with dyslexia. Here, we investigated visual crowding and backward masking. We presented a Vernie ...

Many neuroprosthetic applications require the use of very small, flexible multi-channel microelectrodes (e.g. polyimide-based film-like electrodes) to fit anatomical constraints. By arranging the electrode contacts on both sides of the polyimide film, sele ...
In cognition, audition, and somatosensation, performance correlates strongly between different paradigms suggesting the existence of common factors. Surprisingly, this does not hold true for vision. For example, performance in line bisection and visual acu ...
The Idiap system for search and hyperlinking uses topic-based segmentation, content-based recommendation algorithms, and multimodal re-ranking. For both sub-tasks, our system performs better with automatic speech recognition output than with manual subtitl ...
The objective of much robotics research in recent years has been to develop lightweight autonomous flying robots. Applications for these aircrafts are numerous, including natural disaster monitoring, mapping, and search-and-rescue missions. One of the majo ...
