The binocular functional visual-field, which is the area around the fixation point within which a target can be detected, was mapped for two subjects, using a peripherally presented target in a regular background. Over-all the field shapes were strikingly similar to field shapes reported previously for these two subjects and confirmed the presence of boundary irregularities for both subjects.
