Talk:Peripheral vision

Comments

There is no mention that a small slice of peripheral vision functions subliminally to detect "threat movement" and triggers peripheral vision reflexes.

Far peripheral vision is monocular vision so that each eye sees a different field.

I think the last comment may be related to what I was thinking... isn't peripheral vision associated with the peripheral nervous system? It seems I've read this elsewhere but the relationship isn't mentioned in either article. Paxfeline 07:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC) hi!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peripheral vision is not associated with the peripheral nervous system. It is part of the central nervous system. 50% of the nerve fibers of the optic nerve connect the peripheral system of the human eye with the visual cortex. The other 50% are used for foveal vision.--Hans-Werner34 (talk) 15:14, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

That's a really badly placed box with the chess image in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.22.212.21 (talk) 18:03, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

"This is because receptor cells on the retina are greater at the center and lowest at the edges (see visual system for an explanation of these concepts)." What does the first part of the sentence talk about, is it the "number" of cells which are greater or just the cells are "bigger"? 85.99.70.220 (talk) 20:55, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I am a juggler, i do it as a hobby/sport and not professionally in any way, but i noticed that my peripheral vision improved dramatically when i learned juggling about 3 years ago, and in many patterns throws and/or catches are being done outside of foveal vision. I would say juggling could serve as an example of a skill that requires making extensive use of peripheral vision. This serves as a note, maybe some day someone will find a good source for this or a way to include it into the article, or maybe i manage to find something myself. if you want to get an idea of what im talking about when i say that juggling requires peripheral vision, you should watch a good juggling video, so ill just post a link to a Thomas Dietz video on Youtube here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThbrZYxQHBk . Watching the first 1 or 2 minutes should be enough to get an idea. Now a quoteable article or maybe even a research paper that talks about it would be awesome.

Driving and Safety

It might be germane to add some discussion of PV relating to automobile driving. I have noticed a trend toward peripheral vision-blocking (very wide) temples on eyeglasses. As soon as we attain bans on driving and texting, along comes a useless artifact to assure the requisite number of motoring fatalities (I suppose). homebuilding75.37.226.167 (talk) 22:38, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Peripheral vision and visual hallucinations.

I have the schizophrenia, and this schizo spends a lot of time trying to hack and test to see if it can create or use the visual, photoreceptor part of brain, visual cranial nerves or whatever it is they use to cause outward visual hallucinations of the surroundings. It has not managed to cause any visual hallucinations of the exterior world around, or is just lazy or a weaker schizo strain, but it has and not very often, has caused some hallucinations of the peripheral vision, to the point of major delusions and some kind of animal that resembles microorganisms that are see through or even the more well known motion of things that aren't moving, before the schizo made itself more obvious it is there. What parts of the brain are used to process peripheral vision as opposed to direct visual objects, and in what way way are these two areas of the brain, peripheral motion and direct vision tied together? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.16.7.61 (talk) 02:58, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Peripheral vision is subserved by the same brain regions as central vision. Strasburger (talk) 17:29, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Infrared

Should it be noted that IR is generally more visable to humans when viewd in the peiphreal?

Chess Set example lower left

The chess board is set up incorrectly; the white square is ALWAYS on the right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.51.210.242 (talk) 15:47, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Decline of acuity

At the end of the chapter "Inner boundaries" is says, "Visual acuity declines by about 50% every 2.5° from the center up to 30°, at which point visual acuity declines more steeply.[21]"

(1) this is factually incorrect; the decline is much shallower and has a different shape;
(2) it lacks a reference for the value 2.5° (which in the scientific literature is called the E₂ value);
(3) The reference (21), "BesharseBok2011", is insufficient in that it only shows the steeper decline after 30°. It does not mention the 2.5° value and is indeed incompatible with the 2.5° concept .

I will think of a better way to phrase this. Strasburger (talk) 22:29, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
