Devices, Systems, and Methods for Evaluating Vision and Diagnosing and Compensating Impairment of Vision

A system and method for evaluating and predicting visual perception of animals are provided. Retinal image data or other data representing the pathology of an animal is provided as input to a nonlinear computational model of a primary visual cortex of an animal. A plurality of images of a predetermined set of recognizable objects is applied to the computational model input and then made accessible to a processor for generation of the model. A confidence estimate of a recognition by the model of the object represented by the selected image is generated. The system and method allow for quantifying the impact on visual perception of a predetermined condition, as well as determining a strategy for ameliorating the effect of a visual impairment Weights in the computational model regression can be adjusted to provide the best prediction results. This can be done by iterative optimization, for example, using psychometric data.
