Educational Software

Mac OS X programs are available on the Mac Downloads page. As time permits, software will be tested on Windows.

Note: These programs are to be used solely for instructional purposes. Users must be vision science/optometry professors. This will be enforced via registration codes (at no cost). Requests for registration codes must come from email accounts with EDU domains.

Eye Movements
Optics
Color Vision
  • ColorSpace (color definition, color mixing and color complements in CIE color space)
  • CIE Color Mixture (mixture of two and three color combinations in CIE color space)
  • Color Channels (trichromatic and opponent process theories)
  • Color Mixture (additive and subtractive mixtures)
  • Color Naming (color perception via opponent channel activation)
  • Hurvich-Jameson (software simulation of classic color vision experiment)
  • D-15 (simulation of D-15 color vision test in presence of disease)
  • FM-100 (scoring of FM-100 color vision test)
  • Anomaloscope (simulation of anomaloscope in normal and abnormal color vision)
  • Simultaneous Color Effect
  • Benham's Top
  • Color Opponency (demonstration of color saliency with different background hues)
Electrodiagnosis
Light Perception
Temporal Vision
  • Ramp Aftereffect (adaptation of on vs. off pathways)
  • Flicker
  • Masking (forward, backward and metacontrast masking)
  • Persistence (effects of persistence on the duration of perception using flashed stimuli of different exposure times).
  • Temporal Acuity (demonstration of two-flash resolution)
Motion Perception
Neurophysiology
Spatial Vision
Psychophysical Methods
  • DPrime (signal detection theory - subject responses, neural response distributions and ROC curves)
Illusions
  • Face vs. Vase (bistable percept with adjustable outlines and background grating frequencies)
  • Müller-Lyer (length illusion with adjustable length and end angles)
  • Illusions (illusions with and without their inducing elements)
Binocular Vision
  • Graphical Analysis (simulation of graphical analysis plus calculations of prism and add prescriptions, Duane's classification of binocular vision dysfunctions, and expected accommodative amplitudes).
  • Horopter (Vieth-Müller circle, Hering-Hillebrand deviation, uniform & nonuniform magnification)
  • Line Stereogram (horizontal disparity, cyclodeviation, sinusoid in depth)
  • Pulfrich (target for demonstration of Pulfrich phenomenon)
  • Space Eikonometer (simulation of geometric and induced effects as seen in the space eikonometer)
  • Diffrequency (demonstration of depth through interocular spatial frequency differences)
  • Prism Depth (demonstration of depth distortions from prisms)
  • Pictorial Cues (simulation of 2-dimensional cues to depth)
  • Rivalry (demonstration of exclusive and mosaic rivalry and manipulation of interocular weighting)
  • SILO (demonstration of size-depth interactions)
  • RanDot (random-dot stereograms with adjustable disparity, element size, element density and monucular or binocular blur)
