Center Vision vs. Peripheral Vision (VIDEO)
Caption
A pair of Kansas State University psychology researchers has found that although central vision allows our eyes to discern the details of a scene, our peripheral vision is most important for telling us what type of scene we're looking at in the first place, such as whether it is a street, a mountain, or a kitchen. The researchers showed people two kinds of photographs of everyday scenes, ones in which the periphery was obscured and others in which the center of the image was obscured.
