Reduced visual function in schizotypal traits: An exploratory study
Publication year: in press
URL:
https://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/33118/
Abstract/Results: Abstract
Background and Hypothesis:
Visual impairments have been proposed as risk factors for psychotic symptoms and illnesses. Visual impairments can considerably impact peoples’ daily lives, but little is known about the impact and diagnostic sensitivity of such abnormalities for schizotypal personality traits. This study aims to explore possible relationships between schizotypy and visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and parameters that describe eye movements and visual processing times.
Study Design:
Schizotypy was assessed in thirty-seven participants with the Multidimensional Schizotypy ScaleBrief (MSS-B). For the visual function measures we used the Acuity-Plus test and the new Eye Movement and Integrated Saccade Latency (EMAIL) test. The latter measures oculomotor performance during an eye movement task, including the visual processing time at the end of each saccade.
Study Results:
The disorganised dimension of the schizotypy scores predicted visual acuity when measured with black optotypes. Additionally, we found that participants who had higher disorganised scores showed an increased response variability, as assessed through the goodness of fit measure from the EMAIL test.
Conclusions:
These results from this exploratory study extend upon earlier findings from both general and patient samples, highlighting the clinical and subclinical importance of understanding how spatial vision can be affected in people with schizotypal disorganised behaviour.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
Distorted perceptual experience have been proposed as a risk factor for psychotic symptoms and illnesses, but little is known about its relationship with schizotypal personality traits in the general population. In addition, it has been suggested that early visual processes are important for higher cognitive functioning (like working memory) known to be impaired in the schizophrenia spectrum.
Aims
Here we investigated a) the relationship between fundamental visual processing (visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and eye-movement related visual processing) and schizotypy and b) the degree to which visual acuity and contrast sensitivity predict working memory performance.
Method
We first measured (in 37 participants) visual acuity and contrast sensitivity using the Acuity-Plus test, visual processing time and eye-movements with the Eye Movement and Integrated Saccade Latency test and schizotypy with the Multidimensional Schizotypy Scale-Brief. In a second experiment using EEG (in 26 participants), we also measured ERPs during a working memory task.
Results
The first experiment found that the disorganised dimension of schizotypy predicted visual acuity. The second experiment showed a relationship between visual acuity and neural measures of working memory.
Conclusions
These results of the two experiments suggest that first diminished visual acuity may serve as a relevant biomarker in schizophrenia and schizotypy. It highlights the clinical and subclinical importance of understanding how vision can be affected in people with schizotypal behaviour. Second, the results also showed the importance of basic visual processes for being able to maintain information in working memory and may underlie their impairment.

Effects of post-saccadic oscillations on visual processing times
Publication year: 2024

https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0302459
Abstract/Results: Abstract
Saccadic eye movements enable us to search for the target of interest in a crowded scene or, in the case of goal-directed saccades, to simply bring the image of the peripheral target to the very centre of the fovea. This mechanism extends the use of the superior image processing performance of the fovea over a large visual field. We know that visual information is processed quickly at the end of each saccade but estimates of the times involved remain controversial. This study aims to investigate the processing of visual information during post fixation oscillations of the eyeball. A new psychophysical test measures the combined eye movement response latencies, including fixation duration and visual processing times. When the test is used in conjunction with an eye tracker, each component that makes up the ‘integrated saccade latency’ time, from the onset of the peripheral stimulus to the correct interpretation of the information carried by the stimulus, can be measured and the discrete components delineated. The results show that the time required to process and encode the stimulus attribute of interest at the end of a saccade is longer than the time needed to carry out the same task in the absence of an eye movement. We propose two principal hypotheses, each of which can account for this finding. 1. The known inhibition of afferent retinal signals during fast eye movements extends beyond the end point of the saccade. 2. The extended visual processing times measured when saccades are involved are caused by the transient loss of spatial resolution due to eyeball instability during post-saccadic oscillations. The latter can best be described as retinal image smear with greater loss of spatial resolution expected for stimuli of low luminance contrast.
