Discriminating mirror symmetry in foveal and extra-foveal vision
The ability to discriminate perfect from imperfect mirror symmetry was examined at the fovea and at eccentricities out to 10 degrees in the nasal visual field. A 2-AFC method of constant stimuli was employed in which a bilaterally symmetric pattern was presented in one interval and a degraded version of this symmetric pattern in the other. The subject's task was to decide which interval contain...
متن کاملOrientation discrimination in foveal and extra-foveal vision: effects of stimulus bandwidth and contrast
The parameter E2 is used in many spatial scaling studies to characterize the rate at which stimulus size must increase with eccentricity to achieve foveal levels of performance in detection and discrimination tasks. We examined whether the E2 for an orientation discrimination task was dependent on the spatial frequency bandwidth of the stimulus used. Two methods were employed. In Experiments 1 ...
متن کاملFoveal and extra-foveal influences on rod hue biases.
Green, blue and short-wavelength-red rod hue biases are strongest and most reliable with large, dimly-mesopic, extra-foveal stimuli but tend to diminish when stimuli are confined to a small area of the central fovea. This study explores how the stimulation of foveal and extra-foveal areas interact in determining rod hue biases, and whether large stimuli are as effective for revealing rod hue bi...
متن کاملFoveal vision in amblyopia.
THE reduced visual acuity in amblyopic eyes has presented a.problem ever since the condition was recognized. Most of the evidence so far favours the cortex as the site of inhibition (Vogt, 1939; Wald and Burian, 1944; Dyer and Bierman, 1952). Clarke (1941) thought that the cause might be an atrophy from disuse affecting the cells of the lateral geniculate body which rely for their vitality on t...
متن کاملIs delayed foveal feedback critical for extra-foveal perception?
Recent neuroimaging evidence suggests that visual inputs arising beyond the fovea can be 'fed back' to foveal visual cortex to construct a new retinotopic representation. However, whether these representations are critical for extra-foveal perception remains unclear. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation we found that relatively late (350-400 msec) disruption of foveal retinotopic cortex impa...
