Description Troxler fading (TF), disappearance of stationary stimuli in peripheral vision during fixation, may reflect a resistance of the parvocellular (PC) visual processing system to image fading. The magnocellular (MC) system may habituate too rapidly to explain TF. Whereas PC processing may critically depend on posterior temporal cortex, MC processing may depend on superior parietal cortex. To learn how PC and MC processing influence TF, we used repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) to inhibit cortex in normal subjects, and we tested a patient with a parietal lobe lesion.
