The human texture visual field: Fovea-to-periphery pattern recognition

摘要

Visual textures paradoxically appear homogeneous in brief flashes despite the inhomogeneity of the retina-cortical pattern processing neurology. An experimental examination of this is reported, matching foveal and eccentric visual patterns of various densities. The results confirm the importance of attentional and cognitive aspects in the eccentric recognition of flashed patterns.
