Velocity Discrimination in the Peripheral Visual Field.

Abstract

Human observers can discriminate differences in velocity of about 6% everywhere in the visual field. In the periphery the optimum velocity is faster than the optimum range in the fovea. The basis of velocity discrimination is the angular velocity of the target, not the temporal frequency of the stimulus. (Author)
