Abstract
A method to improve the receptiveness of a person to a training session of the human visual system where at least one visual stimuli arrangement is provided to the person and where means are provided so that the high order aberrations of the system consisting of the combination of said means and the eye of the person is lower than the high order aberrations of the eye of the person. The method to improve deficiencies, inefficiencies or both in neuronal interaction comprising preceding improvement method. A system such as a lens system, an artificial pupil or a clipable lens adapted for said methods. Related computer program product and computer-readable medium.

A method to improve the receptiveness of a person to a training session of the human visual system where at least one visual stimuli arrangement is provided to the person and where means are provided so that the high order aberrations of the system consisting of the combination of said means and the eye of the person is lower than the high order aberrations of the eye of the person.
A method for identifying deficiencies, inefficiencies, or both, in neuronal interactions of a person's visual cortex, the method comprising:
- (a) providing means so that the high order aberrations of the system consisting of the combination of said means and the eye of the person is lower than the high order aberrations of the eye of the person;
- (b) providing to the person visual stimuli comprising an arrangement of one or more target images where the arrangement is designed to induce a level of neuronal facilitation and/or levels of neuronal suppression in the person's visual cortex;
- (c) receiving from the person a response to the visual stimuli provided in step (b) the response indicating detection or discrimination by the person of the one or more target images;
- and
- (d) providing further visual stimuli to the person based at least in part on the response received in step (c) the further visual stimuli comprising a further arrangement of one or more target images designed to induce a different level of facilitation and/or levels of neuronal suppression in the person's visual cortex than the visual stimuli provided in step (b);
- said step (b)-(d) being repeated until responses to a sufficient number of facilitation and/or levels of neuronal suppression levels are received from the person such that deficiencies, inefficiencies, or both, in neuronal interactions of the person's visual cortex may be identified by comparing a function of the person's responses to a normative response function of persons without known vision deficiencies.
A system to improve the receptiveness of a person to a training session of the human visual system where at least one visual stimuli arrangement is provided to the person, and where the system comprises means designed so that the high order aberrations of the system consisting of the combination of the means and the eye of the person is lower than the high order aberrations of the eye of the person.
A clipable lens fixable to a lens which is adapted to a person vision parameters to improve the receptiveness of the person to a training session of the human visual system where visual stimuli arrangements are provided to the person and where the clipable lens is designed to obtain high order aberrations of the system consisting of the combination of the clipable lens fixated to the lens adapted to a person vision parameters and the eye of the person which is lower than the high order aberrations of the eye of the person.
