A puzzling percept of stimulus stabilization.

abstract：:It is well known that object recognition requires spatial frequencies exceeding some critical cutoff value. People with central scotomas who rely on peripheral vision have substantial difficulty with reading and face recognition. Deficiencies of pattern recognition in peripheral vision, might result in higher cutoff r...

This study shows averaging also for equally eccentric double stimuli with a modest difference in direction (delta phi = 30 deg). When the difference is enlarged (delta phi = 90 deg) t...
