A number of studies have investigated whether human visual performance can be related to the general form of the amplitude spectra (i.e., 1/f(alpha)) of natural scenes. Here, it is argued that there are some discrepancies in the data between some of those studies and that one possible explanation for the discrepancies may be related to differences in methodology ( e. g., stimuli presented to the fovea as opposed to the parafovea). We sought to resolve some of the discrepancies with two psychophysical paradigms involving alpha discrimination with visual noise and natural scene image patches presented to the fovea or parafovea. Fovea - parafovea threshold differences were apparent for stimuli possessing alpha values
