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 …

Human visual performance changes dramatically both across (eccentricity) and around
(polar angle) the visual field. Performance is better at the fovea, decreases with eccentricity …

With every saccadic eye movement, humans bring new information into their fovea to be
processed with high visual acuity. Notably, perception is enhanced already before a relevant …

Crowding, our inability to identify a feature or object–the target–due to its proximity to
adjacent features or objects–flankers–exhibits a notable inner-outer asymmetry. This …

Spontaneous retinal wave activity shaping the visual system is a complex
neurodevelopmental phenomenon. Retinal ganglion cells are the hubs through which …

Contrast sensitivity, the amount of contrast required to discriminate an object, depends on
spatial frequency (SF). The contrast sensitivity function (CSF) peaks at intermediate SFs and …

Foveated rendering (FR) improves the rendering performance of virtual reality (VR) by
allocating fewer computational loads in the peripheral field of view (FOV). Existing FR …

Objective. Blindness affects approximately 40 million people worldwide and has inspired the
development of cortical visual prostheses for restoring sight. Cortical visual prostheses …

Human visual cortex contains regions selectively involved in perceiving and recognizing
ecologically important visual stimuli such as people and places. Located in the ventral …

Face recognition is widely considered to be ″special ″, involving dedicated brain regions
with unique patterns of selectivity. This contrasts with increasing evidence for common …
