Visual processing throughout the visual field

This paper summarizes work done in our laboratory with a special emphasis on functional aspects of the visual field. The quality of the perceived image within a visual display depends on the information available within the display itself but also on the capacity of the human visual system to process visual information. Specifically, the paper discusses work on human visual processing which deals with our capacity to process flicker information and how this is affected by aging, colour, motion, visual distortions as assessed by curvature and symmetry.
