Chung, LaFrance and Bedell have simulated nystagmus waveforms in normals with varying foveation periods to vicariously assess the impact of foveation durations on visual acuity. This, compared to a paradigm in which vision was only permitted during the simulated foveation periods, showed that with multiple cycles, visual acuity improved more dramatically in the foveation-only paradigm as compared to the full simulated waveform scenario.
