The neurons comprising many cortical areas have long been known to be arranged
topographically such that nearby neurons have receptive fields at nearby locations in the …

During the past two decades, the interest in investigating the phenomenon of inattentional
blindness strongly increased and resulted in a fraying of paradigms investigating this …

Stimulus eccentricity affects visual processing in multiple ways. Performance on a visual task
is often better when target stimuli are presented near or at the fovea compared to the retinal …

Pathologies affecting central vision, and macular degeneration (MD) in particular, represent
a growing health concern worldwide, and the leading cause of blindness in the Western …

Psychophysical and neurobiological evidence suggests that central and peripheral vision
are specialized for different functions. This specialization of function might be expected to …

Visual input is not equally processed over space. In recent years, a right visual field
advantage during free walking and standing in orientation discrimination and contrast …

Visual attention may be captured by an irrelevant yet salient distractor, thereby slowing
search for a relevant target. This phenomenon has been widely studied using the additional …

The functionality of central vision is different from peripheral vision. Central vision is used for
fixation and has higher acuity, making it useful for everyday activities such as reading and …

Previous research has shown spontaneous location processing when location is not a task
relevant feature and when a target is presented together with distractors. The present study …

Some failures of selective attention may be explained by the attentional white bear (AWB)
phenomenon Tsal & Makovski (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and …
