Eye movements for sampling and calibrating visual information
- 👤 Speaker: Prof. Karl Gegenfurtner
- 📅 Date & Time: Thursday 14 January 2016, 13:00 - 14:00
- 📍 Venue: Kenneth Craik Room, Craik-Marshall Building, Downing Site
Abstract
Past research on visual perception was mainly concerned with foveal vision while the eyes are stationary. I will show that the interaction between eye movements and visual perception is optimized for the active sampling of information across the visual field, and for the calibration of different parts of the visual field.
