  • Title: Naso-temporal asymmetry of visual perception and of the visual cortex.
    Author: Fahle M, Schmid M.
    Journal: Vision Res; 1988; 28(2):293-300. PubMed ID: 3414016.
    Abstract:
    The decrease of visual performance from the fovea towards the periphery depends upon the task tested. The slope of the decrease is generally steeper for hyperacuity than for spatial resolution and is steeper in the nasal than in the temporal hemifield. The naso-temporal asymmetry in the periphery of the visual field, beyond 20 deg eccentricity, is much more pronounced for hyperacuity than for spatial resolution. The psychophysical results show a close correlation to the cortical organization as revealed by autoradiography.
