Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of the scientific community's understanding of the differences between central and peripheral vision. The author begins with the initial discovery of the peripheral 'blind spot' by Mariotte in the 17th century, then traces the development of the topic in the 18th and 19th centuries, when scientists such as Thomas Young, Troxler, Purkinje, and Aubert made discoveries about color sensitivity and the differing visual functions of the fovea and peripheral retina. The book includes a comprehensive discussion of the theories proposed to explain these phenomena, including the conjectures of Helmholtz, Fick, and others. The author also discusses the implications of these findings for our understanding of visual perception and the nature of color vision. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
