[HTML][HTML] A review of interactions between peripheral and foveal vision

EEM Stewart, M Valsecchi, AC Schütz - Journal of vision, 2020 - jov.arvojournals.org
Visual processing varies dramatically across the visual field. These differences start in the
retina and continue all the way to the visual cortex. Despite these differences in processing …

[HTML][HTML] The role of foveal cortex in discriminating peripheral stimuli: the sketchpad hypothesis

CM Oletto, G Contemori, M Bertamini, L Battaglini - NeuroSci, 2022 - mdpi.com
Foveal (central) and peripheral vision are strongly interconnected to provide an integrated
experience of the world around us. Recently, it has been suggested that there is a feedback …

Training on foveated images improves robustness to adversarial attacks

M Shah, A Kashaf, B Raj - Advances in Neural Information …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been shown to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks--
subtle, perceptually indistinguishable perturbations of inputs that change the response of the …

[HTML][HTML] Foveal feedback in perceptual processing: Contamination of neural representations and task difficulty effects

G Contemori, CM Oletto, L Battaglini, E Motterle… - Plos one, 2023 - journals.plos.org
Visual object recognition was traditionally believed to rely on a hierarchical feedforward
process. However, recent evidence challenges this notion by demonstrating the crucial role …

[HTML][HTML] Investigating the role of the foveal cortex in peripheral object discrimination

G Contemori, CM Oletto, R Cessa, E Marini… - Scientific reports, 2022 - nature.com
Peripheral object discrimination is hindered by a central dynamic mask presented between
150 and 300 ms after stimulus onset. The mask is thought to interfere with task-relevant …

[HTML][HTML] Human peripheral blur is optimal for object recognition

RT Pramod, H Katti, SP Arun - Vision research, 2022 - Elsevier
Our vision is sharpest at the centre of our gaze and becomes progressively blurry into the
periphery. It is widely believed that this high foveal resolution evolved at the expense of …

[HTML][HTML] Frequency-specific and periodic masking of peripheral characters by delayed foveal input

N Goktepe, AC Schütz - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
The foveal-feedback mechanism supports peripheral object recognition by processing
information about peripheral objects in foveal retinotopic visual cortex. When a foveal object …

On the relationship between foveal mask interference and mental imagery in peripheral object recognition

G Contemori, CM Oletto… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
A delayed foveal mask affects perception of peripheral stimuli. The effect is determined by
the timing of the mask and by the similarity with the peripheral stimulus. A congruent mask …

Top-down enhanced object recognition in blocking and priming paradigms.

M Scheibel, P Indefrey - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
Previous studies have demonstrated that context manipulations by semantic blocking and
category priming can, under particular design conditions, give rise to semantic facilitation …

Comparing Neural Correlates of Memory Encoding and Maintenance for Foveal and Peripheral Stimuli

G Kandemir, CNL Olivers - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Visual working memory is believed to rely on top-down attentional mechanisms that sustain
active sensory representations in early visual cortex. However, both bottom-up sensory input …
