Space-time visual insanity.

Some work I collaborated on concerning spatiotemporal vision. We have some very interesting findings hinted at in the ‘Puzzles’ section that I look forward to us getting out there.

Temporal consequences of spatial acuity reduction

Various eye conditions, such as cataracts and refractive errors, induce spatial blur in the retinal image. This, by definition, reduces high spatial frequency content. How, if at all, does this impact the temporal structure of the visual input? What are the implications of any such spatio-temporal linkage?
