Performance in visual tasks is limited by the low-level mechanisms that sample the visual
field. It is well documented that contrast sensitivity and spatial resolution decrease as a …

Under normal viewing conditions, the image on the retina is always in motion. Images fade
and may eventually disappear when the physiological motion of the retinal stimulus is …

Filling-in refers to the tendency of stabilized retinal stimuli to fade and become replaced by
their background. This phenomenon is a good example of central brain mechanisms that …

Visual-field (VF) anisotropy has been investigated in terms of spatial resolution of attention,
spatial frequency, and semantic processing. Brightness perception has also been reported …

Subjective brightness perception reportedly differs among the peripheral visual fields owing
to lower-and higher-order cognition. However, there is still a lack of information associated …

This study measured the fading times of peripheral targets as a function of whether viewing
was monocular or binocular, and of brightness contrast. Data from a binocularly normal …

The eggs illusion is a visual phenomenon in which bright circular patches located at the
midpoints between the intersections of a dark grid are perceived as being elongated along …

We quantitatively examined the effect of stimulus duration on the extinction illusion. A white
disc was presented or not presented at an intersection of a grey grid (intersection …

The purpose of this study was to develop a new resolution acuity measure for patients after
macular hole surgery. Fifty eyes of 44 patients who had undergone successful treatment …

The cortical magnification matrix M is introduced founded on a notion similar to that of the
scalar cortical magnification factor M. Unlike M, this matrix is suitable to describe anisotropy …
