  • Title: Reading without a fovea.
    Author: Rayner K, Bertera JH.
    Journal: Science; 1979 Oct 26; 206(4417):468-9. PubMed ID: 504987.
    Abstract:
    A visual mask moving in synchrony with the eye obliterated foveal vision during reading under certain conditions. When foveal vision was masked, reading became difficult. In another condition, a window of readable text moved in synchrony with the eye, and parafoveal vision was masked on each fixation. The results point out the importance of foveal and parafoveal vision in reading.
