BESTMASTERS EFFECTS OF PERIPHERAL VISION ON E...

Elena Hitzel pursues the idea that human gaze locations are influenced by currently non-fixated
objects that are visible in the peripheral visual field. Using eye tracking equipment and a
Virtual Reality system to provide naturalistic tasks  the author shows that gaze is biased
towards a neighboring object  especially when this object is relevant to the subject's current
task. This suggests that peripheral vision is used in the allocation of gaze in daily life and
that this bias can be interpreted in terms of a compromise between foveal and peripheral
information gain. The benefit of this bias in natural vision is discussed in the context of
bottom-up and top-down theories.
