The best example of the distinction between acuity and hyperacuity comes from vision.

In particular, the determination of normal stereopsis is a hyperacuity task.

Humans can do this with remarkable accuracy, it is a hyperacuity (scientific term).

Details of the neural apparatus for hyperacuity still await discovery.

Braille reading involves hyperacuity among touch receptors in the fingertips.

It is also the mechanism underlying visual hyperacuity.

"Here you had a hyperacuity kicking in to the dangers and all of a sudden, people were hypersensitive to their surroundings."

How does hyperacuity differ from traditional acuity?

Visual hyperacuity is at least 10-times more sensitive than Visual acuity, the ability to separate between distinct objects.

Hyperacuity perimetry is used in clinical trials evaluating therapies for retinal degenerative changes.

Hyperacuity may refer to:

CNV can be detected by using a type of perimetry called preferential hyperacuity perimetry.

This hyperacuity, transcending by far the size limits set by the retinal 'pixels', depends on sophisticated information processing in the brain.

These vary small values of normal stereoacuity, expressed in differences of either object distances, or angle of disparity, makes it a hyperacuity.

Preferential hyperacuity perimetry changes (for wet AMD)

Among measures of hyperacuity are the vernier discrimination of two adjacent lines and the discrimination of two stars in a night sky.

Preferential hyperacuity perimetry is a psychophysical test used to identify and quantify visual abnormalities such as metamorphopsia and scotoma.

Hyperacuity is the seventh studio album by guitarist Greg Howe, released on June 6, 2000 through Tone Center Records.

Therefore, in retinal diseases such as Macular degeneration responses to hyperacuity stimuli may be abnormal long before any changes in Visual acuity are observed.

Preferential hyperacuity perimetry (PHP) is a technology that bypasses Filling-in and quantifies the extent of visual abnormalities.

PHP takes advantage of visual hyperacuity, also known as Vernier acuity- the ability to identify the misalignment of visual objects.

Aditya Jyot Eye Hospital is the first hospital in Asia to introduce the retinal endoscope and the Preferential hyperacuity perimeter.

We can hear many more different tones than there are hair cells in the cochlea; pitch discrimination, without which a violin could not be played in tune, is a hyperacuity.

Later, during dinner, Chuck Harrison, who won a technical Academy Award for an optical printer, commented: "What Clifford has come up with is a kind of hyperacuity.

That the hyperacuity apparatus involves signals from a range of individual receptor cells, usually in more than one location of the stimulus space, has implications concerning performance in these tasks.
