 The visual field[(Visual_field>Visual Fields[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_field|Wikipedia]])]
- is the area of the world that can be seen by the eyes when they are fixated on a point. The visual field is divided into two parts: the central visual field and the peripheral visual field. The central visual field is the area directly in front of the eyes, while the peripheral visual field is the area to the sides.

 Research has shown that the biased competition theory applies to both the central and peripheral visual fields. In the central visual field, competition between neurons is biased towards stimuli that are located at the fovea, the area of the retina responsible for high-acuity vision. This bias is thought to reflect the fact that the fovea contains a higher density of cones than the rest of the retina, allowing for more detailed visual processing.
