  2. Ocular tilt reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_tilt_reaction

    If instead of the actual head tilt (as compared to true vertical), the direction of the head tilt as interpreted by the brain (subjective head tilt) is given importance, then it is seen that the head tilt and ocular torsion are actually in the same direction in both the physiologic ocular counter-roll and the pathologic ocular tilt reaction.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canthus

    The canthus (pl.: canthi, palpebral commissures) is either corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet. [1] More specifically, the inner and outer canthi are, respectively, the medial and lateral ends/angles of the palpebral fissure.

  4. Negative relative accommodation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_relative...

    Negative relative accommodation (NRA) was proposed by Joseph Kearney of Oxford University in 1967 as a measure of the maximum ability to relax accommodation while maintaining clear, single binocular vision. It is an indirect measurement of fusional vergence in binocular vision. [1]

    The medial palpebral ligament (medial canthal tendon) is a ligament of the face. It attaches to the frontal process of the maxilla , the lacrimal groove , and the tarsus of each eyelid . It has a superficial (anterior) and a deep (posterior) layer, with many surrounding attachments.

  6. Tilt (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_(optics)

    Piston and tilt are not actually true optical aberrations, as they do not represent or model curvature in the wavefront. Defocus is the lowest order true optical aberration. If piston and tilt are subtracted from an otherwise perfect wavefront, a perfect, aberration-free image is formed. Rapid optical tilts in both X and Y directions are termed ...

  8. Visual tilt effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_tilt_effects

    Psychophysics experiments have shown that relative orientations between 0 deg and about 50 deg produce repulsion effects (the test line or grating tends to rotate away from the contextual stimulus), which is known as the direct form of the tilt effect; but larger relative orientations up to 90 deg produce attraction effects (the test line or ...

    Bad Things Happen In War’ Until now, the most common wound of war was thought to be PTSD, an involuntary reaction to a remembered life-threatening fear.
