During periods of stress, the sympathetic nervous system automatically narrows the range of perceptual inputs to emphasize central vision. This perceptual narrowing is an evolutionary skill that was ...

Peripheral vision enables humans to see shapes that aren’t directly in our line of sight, albeit with less detail. This ability expands our field of vision and can be helpful in many situations, such ...

Researchers have found a significant improvement in the peripheral awareness of people who played computer games specially designed around using peripheral vision. This finding opens up the ...

New research at Lancaster University's School of Computing and Communications indicates that playing computer games can improve someone’s peripheral vision. The study, published in the paper ...

A person with peripheral vision loss has difficulty seeing things above, below, or at the side without turning their head. This type of vision loss is also known as tunnel vision. Tunnel vision can ...

Perhaps computer vision and human vision have more in common than meets the eye? Research from MIT suggests that a certain type of robust computer-vision model perceives visual representations ...

Peripheral vision enables humans to see shapes that aren't directly in our line of sight, albeit with less detail. This ability expands our field of vision and can be helpful in many situations, such ...

Whether you’re driving a car or walking into a room, your peripheral vision helps you move around safely. It lets you see things without moving your head. But some conditions can interfere with ...

Peripheral vision loss (PVL) occurs when you can’t see objects unless they’re right in front of you. This is also known as tunnel vision. Loss of side vision can create obstacles in your daily life, ...
