Peripheral Motion Detection Reflex: 2D Field Map

A flat 2D map of the visual field showing why peripheral rod pooling detects motion before the fovea resolves detail: pan and zoom the field, tune eccentricity, speed, contrast and ambient light, and run a real reaction-time trial against the model's prediction.

A flat, pannable-and-zoomable diagram of the visual field: a radial heatmap shows how motion sensitivity actually rises from the fovea into the periphery as rod pooling and receptive-field size increase, paired with a live probability-vs-eccentricity graph and a genuine reaction-time trial you can run against the model's own prediction.
