Testing normally sighted participants with gaze-contingent simulations, we found that central and peripheral vision loss resulted in worse descriptions of real-world scenes. Participants with peripheral loss made the worst descriptions, but central loss changed fixation behavior.
New article in the Eye movements as windows to the mind issue bit.ly/4dQhB9X by Byron A. Johnson @bvisjohn et al. from UC, Santa Barbara investigates the distinct roles of central and peripheral vision in rapid scene understanding. doi.org/10.1167/jov.26…

To test if people w/ retinal prosthesis can improve their performance + engagement we modified two clinical tasks and turned them into games. Our results suggest that gamification can help with both, but it depends on user abilities, preferences, and task difficulty.
Lily M. Turkstra et al. from UC, Santa Barbara find that gamification enhances user engagement and task performance in prosthetic vision testing. doi.org/10.1167/tvst.1…

Ever wonder how the blind consume memes? Well, I did so I looked into it and learned about their unique relationship with this increasingly significant slice of culture. vice.com/en_us/article/…
