Document Summary
A benefit of the lenses is that they change the visual condition almost instantaneously without the eyes requiring the typical amount of time to adapt to changes between light and dark conditions. Binocular vision also provides better movement control than monocular vision for other motor skills, such as locomotion and intercepting moving objects. Central vision, which is sometimes called foveal vision, detects information only in the middle 2 to 5 degrees of the visual field. Peripheral vision, on the other hand, detects information in the visual field outside these limits: true/false: research has shown that peripheral vision provides the peripheral nervous system with information about the environmental context and the moving limb. Optical flow refers to the pattern of rays of light that strike the retina of the eye from all parts of the environment. Kinetic visual channel was responsible for processing visual information in peripheral vision. This channel would process high-speed movement information and control limb movement direction.
