Stargardt Macular Dystrophy (STGD1) causes retinal degeneration predominantly affecting the cone photoreceptors, resulting in loss of central vision and colour vision. Understanding how this loss affects cortical visual processing will be important for evaluating outcomes following therapy to restore retinal function. The retinotopic organisation o...

Purpose: We aimed to assess the performance of the modified-Esterman test (mET) as a rapid suprathreshold binocular quantification tool for the assessment of peripheral visual fields. The mET consists of an even spread of test points across the visual field. Materials and methods: The mET was implemented on the Octopus 0900 perimeter using the O...

Background A common limitation of typical projection systems used for visual fMRI is the limited field of view that can be presented to the observer within the scanner. A wide field of view over which stimuli can be presented is critical when investigating peripheral visual function, in particular visual disorders or diseases that lead to the loss...

Symmetry is effortlessly perceived by humans across changes in viewing geometry. Here, we re‐examined the network subserving symmetry processing in the context of up‐to‐date retinotopic definitions of visual areas. Responses in object selective cortex, as defined by functional localizers, were also examined. We further examined responses to both fr...
