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 …

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 …

Organisms control their visual worlds by moving their eyes, heads, and bodies. This control
of “gaze” or “looking” is key to survival and intelligence, but our investigation of the …

Human vision has striking radial asymmetries, with performance on many tasks varying
sharply with stimulus polar angle. Performance is generally better on the horizontal than …

Human vision is heterogeneous around the visual field. At a fixed eccentricity, performance
is better along the horizontal than the vertical meridian and along the lower than the upper …

Population receptive field (pRF) models fit to fMRI data are used to non-invasively measure
retinotopic maps in human visual cortex, and these maps are a fundamental component of …

Crowding is the failure to recognize an object due to surrounding clutter. Our visual
crowding survey measured 13 crowding distances (or “critical spacings”) twice in each of 50 …

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

Temporal attention, the prioritization of information at specific points in time, improves
performance in behavioral tasks but cannot ameliorate the perceptual asymmetries that exist …

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 …
