Linking brain and behavior across and around the visual field
Project Summary Vision at the center of gaze (fovea) has high sensitivity and resolution, facilitating good performance in many tasks. But performance worsens with increasing distance from fovea–eccentricity. At any given eccentricity stimuli can fall anywhere along the circle –polar angle. Both eccentricity and polar angle have pronounced effects on perception in human adults. These factors present an ideal opportunity for establishing tight quantitative links between behavior and neural representations of visual information. Our long-term goal is to understand how visual performance varies across the visual field, to develop a theory of spatial vision that includes the neural and…
