View preference in urban environments (2020)
Journal Article
Batool, A., Rutherford, P., McGraw, P., Ledgeway, T., & Altomonte, S. (2021). View preference in urban environments. Lighting Research and Technology, 53(7), 613-636. https://doi.org/10.1177/1477153520981572

With people spending up to 90% of their time in indoor spaces, windows and the visual connection that they afford to the outside, can play an important role in ensuring physical and psychological well-being. This is particularly relevant in urban set... Read More about View preference in urban environments.

The Effect of Perceptual Learning on Face Recognition in Individuals with Central Vision Loss (2020)
Journal Article
Haris, E. M., McGraw, P., Webb, B. S., Chung, S. T. L., & Astle, A. T. (2020). The Effect of Perceptual Learning on Face Recognition in Individuals with Central Vision Loss. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 61(2), https://doi.org/10.1167/iovs.61.8.2

Purpose: To examine whether perceptual learning could improve face discrimination and recognition in older adults with central vision loss. Methods: Ten participants with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) received 5 days of training on a face d...

Does physical exercise and congruent visual stimulation enhance perceptual learning? (2020)
Journal Article
Campana, G., Fongoni, L., Astle, A., & McGraw, P. V. (2020). Does physical exercise and congruent visual stimulation enhance perceptual learning?. Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 40(5), 680-691. https://doi.org/10.1111/opo.12712

Purpose: There is currently great interest in methods that can modulate brain plasticity, both in terms of understanding the basic mechanisms and in the remedial application to situations of sensory loss. Recent work has focussed on how different man... Read More about Does physical exercise and congruent visual stimulation enhance perceptual learning?.

Short-term monocular deprivation reduces inter-ocular suppression of the deprived eye (2020)
Journal Article
Wang, M., McGraw, P., & Ledgeway, T. (2020). Short-term monocular deprivation reduces inter-ocular suppression of the deprived eye. Vision Research, 173, 29-40. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2020.05.001

The adult visual system was traditionally thought to be relatively hard-wired, but recent studies have challenged this view by demonstrating plasticity following brief periods of monocular deprivation (Lunghi, Burr, & Morrone, 2011; Lunghi, Burr, & M...
