Assessing the impact of central and peripheral obstructions on visual behavior: Insights from gaze-contingent eye-tracking studies

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

Peripheral vision has a greater influence on the overall grasping of visual stimuli than central vision, as central scotomas result in visual behavior more similar to normal vision than peripheral obstructions. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Abstract

• A dataset as a resource for studying the impact of different vision impairments. • Traditional metrics can assess similarity between control and impairment conditions. • Central scotomas exhibit higher similarity to control than peripheral obstructions. • Peripheral vision has greater influence in the overall grasping of visual stimuli.
