Crowding, generally defined as the deleterious influence of nearby contours on visual
discrimination, is ubiquitous in spatial vision. Crowding impairs the ability to recognize …

It is now emerging that vision is usually limited by object spacing rather than size. The visual
system recognizes an object by detecting and then combining its features.'Crowding'occurs …

The external world is mapped retinotopically onto the primary visual cortex (V1). We show
here that objects in the world, unless they are very dissimilar, can be recognized only if they …

The size of the functional visual field (FVF) is dynamic, changing with the context and
attentive demand that each fixation brings as we move our eyes and head to explore the …

Purpose. Crowding, the adverse spatial interaction due to the proximity of adjacent targets,
has been suggested as an explanation for slow reading in peripheral vision. Previously, we …

Abstract Objects in natural scenes are spatially broadband; in contrast, feature detectors in
the early stages of visual processing are narrowly tuned in spatial frequency. Earlier studies …

To test whether first-and second-order stimuli are processed independently in amblyopic
vision, we measured thresholds for identifying a target letter flanked by two letters for all …

An eyetracker study explores how character spacing alters perceptions of reading speed
and peripheral advertising fixations, and suggests content typography as a key method to …

When a peripherally viewed stimulus is presented with flankers, observers' acuity for shape
generally decreases. We wondered whether a change in the locus of information accrual …

В психофизических экспериментах исследовали влияние окружающих изображений
(краудинг-эффект) на определение ориентации тестовых объектов. В качестве …
