O046. Color vision and visual cortex excitability are impaired in episodic migraine. Simply coexisting or pathophysiologically related dysfunctions?
2015
Background and objectives Evidence of abnormal color vision processing in migraine comes from observation of positive symptoms during visual aura, effects of strong color contrast triggering attacks and of colored-spectacles reducing migraine frequency. Although the central or peripheral basis of such color misperception remains unclear, several authors reported a selective deficit of shortwavelength cones (S-cones) [1]. Sound-induced flash illusions (SIFI) are a simple way to describe visual distorsion induced by acoustic perception. SIFI critically depend on excitability of primary visual cortex (V1) as they are reduced by facilitatory anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)…
Color-discrimination threshold determination using pseudoisochromatic test plates
2014
We produced a set of pseudoisochromatic plates for determining individual color-difference thresholds to assess test performance and test properties, and analyzed the results. We report a high test validity and classification ability for the deficiency type and severity level [comparable to that of the fourth edition of the Hardy–Rand–Rittler (HRR) test]. We discuss changes of the acceptable chromatic shifts from the protan and deutan confusion lines along the CIE xy diagram, and the high correlation of individual color-difference thresholds and the red–green discrimination index. Color vision was tested using an Oculus HMC anomaloscope, a Farnsworth D15, and an HRR test on 273 schoolchildr…
