The effect of flicker on foveal and peripheral thresholds for oscillatory motion.

abstract：:The integration of spatially distinct elements into coherent objects is a fundamental process of vision. Yet notwithstanding an extensive literature on perceptual grouping, we still lack a clear understanding of the representational consequences of grouping disparate visual locations. We investigated this question in ...
