ABSTRACT
Performance changes dramatically both across (eccentricity) and around (polar angle) the visual field. All neurophysiological and virtually all behavioral studies of cortical magnification investigate eccentricity effects without considering polar angle. But, does cortical magnification underlie differences around the visual field? We magnified stimulus size according to eccentricity and polar angle to equate their cortical representation. We found that magnifying the stimulus eliminates differences across –but not around– the visual field.
