Cortical processing at the center-of-gaze
SUMMARY Almost nothing is known about the mechanisms of vision at the center-of-gaze, and yet that knowledge is fundamental to understanding how vision works. For example, our visual perception seems to be at the resolution that is only achievable at the center-of-gaze (or "fovea"), with eye- movements constantly redirecting the fovea to regions of interest. Thus, this knowledge of how the primary visual cortex (V1) processes this information has obvious basic science relevance, as well as potential clinical relevance. The proposed work overcomes myriad technical challenges to provide the first detailed look at the how the foveal V1 processes visual information, using recordings in the…
