[HTML][HTML] Polar angle asymmetries in visual perception and neural architecture

MM Himmelberg, J Winawer, M Carrasco - Trends in Neurosciences, 2023 - cell.com
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 …

Linking individual differences in human primary visual cortex to contrast sensitivity around the visual field

MM Himmelberg, J Winawer, M Carrasco - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com
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 …

Cortical magnification in human visual cortex parallels task performance around the visual field

NC Benson, ER Kupers, A Barbot, M Carrasco… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Asymmetries in visual acuity around the visual field

A Barbot, S Xue, M Carrasco - Journal of vision, 2021 - arvojournals.org
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 …

What do models of visual perception tell us about visual phenomenology

RN Denison, N Block, J Samaha - Neuroscience and philosophy, 2020 - books.google.com
The science of visual perception has a long history of developing quantitative, computational
models to explain and predict visual performance on a variety of tasks. These models have …

[HTML][HTML] Stimulus-dependent contrast sensitivity asymmetries around the visual field

MM Himmelberg, J Winawer, M Carrasco - Journal of vision, 2020 - iovs.arvojournals.org
Asymmetries in visual performance at isoeccentric locations are well-documented and
functionally important. At a fixed eccentricity, visual performance is best along the horizontal …

[HTML][HTML] Cross-dataset reproducibility of human retinotopic maps

MM Himmelberg, JW Kurzawski, NC Benson, DG Pelli… - Neuroimage, 2021 - Elsevier
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 …

Asymmetries around the visual field: From retina to cortex to behavior

ER Kupers, NC Benson, M Carrasco… - PLoS computational …, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Visual performance varies around the visual field. It is best near the fovea compared to the
periphery, and at iso-eccentric locations it is best on the horizontal, intermediate on the …

Cortical magnification eliminates differences in contrast sensitivity across but not around the visual field

M Jigo, D Tavdy, MM Himmelberg, M Carrasco - elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
Human visual performance changes dramatically both across (eccentricity) and around
(polar angle) the visual field. Performance is better at the fovea, decreases with eccentricity …

[HTML][HTML] The Bouma law accounts for crowding in 50 observers

JW Kurzawski, A Burchell, D Thapa… - Journal of …, 2023 - iovs.arvojournals.org
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 …
