Abstract

The results show that cardinal preferred areas were larger than oblique preferred areas, with a mean difference of 4.7%. Overall, the responses evoked by cardinal stimuli were generally greater than those by oblique stimuli. The present work provides an explanation for the differences in electrophysiological results reported for this issue, and gives a new insight into the neural basis of the oblique effect.
