Prolonged temporal interaction for peripheral visual processing in schizophrenia: Evidence from a three-flash illusion

摘要

BackgroundCoherent perception of the visual world requires orderly processing of spatially and temporally distributed visual information across the visual field. The organization of this visual information is impaired in schizophrenia. We previously found that visual temporal integration in patients is prolonged, using flashes presented to the central fovea. In this study, we investigated this temporal interaction in both the fovea and fairly far out in the peripheral visual field.
