[HTML][HTML] Polar angle asymmetries in visual perception and neural architecture

MM Himmelberg, J Winawer, M Carrasco - Trends in Neurosciences, 2023 - cell.com
Human visual performance changes with visual field location. It is best at the center of gaze
and declines with eccentricity, and also varies markedly with polar angle. These perceptual …

Linking individual differences in human primary visual cortex to contrast sensitivity around the visual field

MM Himmelberg, J Winawer, M Carrasco - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com
A central question in neuroscience is how the organization of cortical maps relates to
perception, for which human primary visual cortex (V1) is an ideal model system. V1 …

Variations in crowding, saccadic precision, and spatial localization reveal the shared topology of spatial vision

JA Greenwood, M Szinte, B Sayim… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Visual sensitivity varies across the visual field in several characteristic ways. For example,
sensitivity declines sharply in peripheral (vs. foveal) vision and is typically worse in the …

Comparing retinotopic maps of children and adults reveals a late-stage change in how V1 samples the visual field

MM Himmelberg, E Tünçok, J Gomez… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Adult visual performance differs with angular location–it is better for stimuli along the
horizontal than vertical, and lower than upper vertical meridian of the visual field. These …

Radial asymmetries in population receptive field size and cortical magnification factor in early visual cortex

MF Silva, JW Brascamp, S Ferreira, M Castelo-Branco… - NeuroImage, 2018 - Elsevier
Human visual cortex does not represent the whole visual field with the same detail. Changes
in receptive field size, population receptive field (pRF) size and cortical magnification factor …

Cortical magnification eliminates differences in contrast sensitivity across but not around the visual field

M Jigo, D Tavdy, MM Himmelberg, M Carrasco - elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
Human visual performance changes dramatically both across (eccentricity) and around
(polar angle) the visual field. Performance is better at the fovea, decreases with eccentricity …

Activity in perirhinal and entorhinal cortex predicts perceived visual similarities among category exemplars with highest precision

KM Ferko, A Blumenthal, CB Martin, D Proklova… - elife, 2022 - elifesciences.org
Vision neuroscience has made great strides in understanding the hierarchical organization
of object representations along the ventral visual stream (VVS). How VVS representations …

[HTML][HTML] Mapping spatial frequency preferences across human primary visual cortex

WF Broderick, EP Simoncelli, J Winawer - Journal of vision, 2022 - iovs.arvojournals.org
Neurons in primate visual cortex (area V1) are tuned for spatial frequency, in a manner that
depends on their position in the visual field. Several studies have examined this …

The critical role of V2 population receptive fields in visual orientation crowding

D He, Y Wang, F Fang - Current Biology, 2019 - cell.com
Crowding, the identification difficulty for a target in the presence of nearby flankers, is an
essential bottleneck for object recognition and visual awareness [1, 2]. As suggested by …

[HTML][HTML] Individual differences in looking at persons in scenes

MD Broda, B De Haas - Journal of Vision, 2022 - tvst.arvojournals.org
Individuals freely viewing complex scenes vary in their fixation behavior. The most
prominent and reliable dimension of such individual differences is the tendency to fixate …
