    Stimulus localization in the visual periphery is less accurate with increasing eccentricity. Clearer reference structures significantly improve localization accuracy by reducing systematic errors.

    Area of Science:

    • Visual perception
    • Human psychophysics
    • Spatial orientation

    Background:

    • Accurate localization of visual stimuli is crucial for navigation and interaction.
    • Previous research indicates that visual periphery perception differs from foveal perception.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate how stimulus eccentricity and background reference structures affect visual periphery localization.
    • To quantify systematic errors in stimulus localization and identify factors influencing their magnitude.

    Main Methods:

    • Experiment 1: Assessed stimulus localization errors at eccentricities up to 55 degrees.
    • Experiment 2: Evaluated localization accuracy using different background reference structures (scales).

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Systematic errors were observed, with stimuli perceived closer to the fixation point.
    • Localization error magnitude increased with stimulus eccentricity.
    • The use of reference scales with clear cues reduced the magnitude of localization errors.

    Conclusions:

    • Stimulus eccentricity is a key factor in visual periphery localization errors.
    • Well-defined reference structures enhance localization accuracy in the visual periphery.
    • Direction perception and scale element identification likely play roles in reducing localization errors.
