E 2 Eccentricity<br />

Figure 11. Schematic illustration of the E 2 value. Four functions<br />

with same E 2 are shown, two linear functions with different<br />

foveal values, <strong>and</strong> two non-linear functions with same foveal<br />

value (from Strasburger, 2003b, Chpt. 4).<br />

Comparisons of slope on the basis of the E2 value are not meaningful if ...<br />

a) the foveal value is inferred rather than measured or is unreliable;<br />

b) the foveal value is not representative, e.g. because of deviations from linearity;<br />

c) normalization is not meaningful.<br />

d) Do not interpret ratios of E 2 values.<br />

Table 3. Caveats for using E 2<br />

With these caveats in mind, Tables 4, 5, <strong>and</strong> 6 show a collection of E 2 values taken or inferred<br />

from the literature.<br />
