visualFields (version 0.6.2)

vfindex: visual field index

Description

calculates the visual field index. It can be parametrized by re-defining which locations go to which weighting regions and the actual weights per region.

Usage

vfindex( vf, td2pdcutoff = -20, perc = 5, vfiset = visualFields::vfidefault )

Arguments

vf

stimulus sensitivities in dBs

td2pdcutoff

cutof value for mean deviation. See perc below for an explanation of how both criteria work in conjunction. Default is -20

perc

percentile at which to check whether the 85th TD percentile is within normal limits or not. If it is not and mean deviation is lower than td2pdcutoff, then TD probability maps are to be used instead of PD probability maps. Default is 5th percentile

vfiset

settings to be applied for the calculation of VFI

Details

calculates the visual field index. It can be parametrized by re-defining which locations go to which weighting regions and the actual weights per region.
