A Visual acuity, computed as 1 minus the Logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (logMAR), is depicted for Cataract Reversals (CAT) in green and Control (CON) subjects in orange. Data are shown as mean ± SEM across participants (n = 16 controls, n = 14 cataract-reversal individuals). Each n refers to an independent biological subject. Dot size reflects subject count, with smaller dots representing one subject and larger dots indicating up to seven subjects. Horizontal lines denote group means, and black bars signify standard errors. Asterisks mark significant differences between groups assessed with independent-samples two-sided t-tests (CAT vs CON: t(28) = –4.1, p = 0.0003). B Behavioral responses during fMRI are shown as mean ± SEM across participants (n = 16 controls in orange, n = 14 cataract-reversal individuals in green, n = 14 Controls Blurry1 in light purple, n = 14 Controls Blurry2 in dark purple). Each n refers to an independent biological subject. Dot sizes correspond to subject count. C Eye displacement during the fMRI experiment, analyzed using deepMReye, are shown as mean ± SEM across participants (n = 16 controls, n = 14 cataract-reversal individuals, n = 14 Controls Blurry1, n = 14 Controls Blurry2). Each n refers to an independent biological subject. Each dot represents one subject, with horizontal bars indicating group averages and vertical black lines denoting standard errors. Additionally, on the right side, an example of the deepMReye output for an average subject in each group during one run of the experiment is provided. Movement intensity is represented by color spread, with darker shades indicating more frequent fixation. Asterisks denote significant between-group differences, tested with independent-samples two-sided t-tests, FDR-corrected across comparisons (CAT vs CON: t(28) = 2.61, pFDR = 0.02; CAT vs ConBlurry1: t(25) = –3.1, pFDR = 0.02; CAT vs ConBlurry2: t(25) = –2.78, pFDR = 0.02; non-significant contrasts: pFDR > 0.9).
