title: Effect of a scotoma on eye movements during visual search.
abstract: Eye movements have been recorded during a free visual search task both with and without an artificial foveal scotoma. Results of the eye movement measurements show that neither fixation durations nor mean saccade amplitudes are significantly modified by the loss of foveal vision.
