Neural correlates of the visual vertical meridian asymmetry.
Human visual performance is better below than above fixation along the vertical meridian-a phenomenon we refer to as vertical meridian asymmetry (VMA). Here, we used fMRI to investigate the neural correlates of the VMA. We presented stimuli of two possible sizes and spatial frequencies on the horizontal and vertical meridians and analyzed the fMRI data in subregions of early visual cortex (V1/V...
متن کاملVertical meridian asymmetry in spatial resolution: visual and attentional factors.
We investigated whether spatial resolution would be the same in the lower and upper halves of the vertical meridian (VM) of our visual field and whether attention would affect them differentially. It has been reported that (1) attending to the target's location improves performance in a texture segregation task when the observer's spatial resolution is too low (peripheral locations) but impairs...
متن کاملIsoeccentric locations are not equivalent: The extent of the vertical meridian asymmetry
Performance in visual tasks is limited by the low-level mechanisms that sample the visual field. It is well documented that contrast sensitivity and spatial resolution decrease as a function of eccentricity and that those factors impair performance in "higher level" tasks, such as visual search. Performance also varies consistently at isoeccentric locations in the visual field. Specifically, at...
متن کاملReversed tilt effect for dichoptic stimulation in vertical meridian
The orientation of a test line appears shifted away from that of contextual contours. This repulsion in the orientation domain manifests itself in, for example, the tilt aftereffect, the simultaneous orientation contrast, and the Zöllner illusion. Attractive rather than repulsive interaction has been reported for collinear inducing configurations at small inducing angles. Here it is shown that ...
متن کاملPerceptual Completion across the Vertical Meridian and the Role of Early Visual Cortex
Perceptual completion can link widely separated contour fragments and interpolate illusory contours (ICs) between them. The mechanisms underlying such long-range linking are not well understood. Here we report that completion is much poorer when ICs cross the vertical meridian than when they reside entirely within the left or right visual hemifield. This deficit reflects limitations in cross-he...
