Space Perception and Binocular Vision 6 Space Perception and Binocular Vision

Binocular Vision and Stereopsis How is stereopsis implemented in the human brain? Fundamental requirement: Input from two eyes must converge onto the same cell Many binocular neurons respond best when the retinal images are on corresponding points in the two retinas: Neural basis for the horopter However, many other binocular neurons respond best when similar images occupy slightly different positions on the retinas of the two eyes (tuned to particular binocular disparity)

Figure 6.36 Simplified diagrams of receptive fields for two binocular disparity–tuned neurons in striate cortex wolfe2e-fig-06-36-0.jpg

Combining Depth Cues Bayesian approach: A statistical model based on Reverend Thomas Bayes’ insight that prior knowledge could influence our estimates of the probability of a current event Bayesian approach is the formal model of UNCONSCIOUS INFERENCE

Figure 6.38 Three of the infinite number of scenes that could generate the retinal image in Fig. 6.37 wolfe2e-fig-06-38-0.jpg

Combining Depth Cues Ideal observer: A theoretical observer with complete access to the best available information and the ability to combine different sources of information in the optimal manner It can be useful to compare human performance to that of an ideal observer Illusions and the construction of space Our visual systems take into account depth cues when interpreting the size of objects

Figure 6.40 The two figures lying across these train tracks are the same size in the image wolfe2e-fig-06-40-0.jpg

Figure 6.41 All of the red lines in this illustration are the same length wolfe2e-fig-06-41-0.jpg

General context, not distance cues influencing perception Figure 6.42 The vertical lines are parallel in (a), as are the horizontal lines in (b) wolfe2e-fig-06-42-0.jpg General context, not distance cues influencing perception

Combining Depth Cues Binocular rivalry: The competition between the two eyes for control of visual perception, which is evident when completely different stimuli are presented to the two eyes

Figure 6.44 Two stimuli battling for dominance wolfe2e-fig-06-44-0.jpg

Development of Binocular Vision and Stereopsis How to measure binocular vision? Stereoacuity: A measure of the smallest binocular disparity that can generate a sensation of depth Dichoptic: Referring to the presentation of two stimuli, one to each eye. Different from binocular presentation, which could involve both eyes looking at a single stimulus Stereoacuity is often tested using dichoptic stimuli

Figure 6.45 The onset of stereopsis wolfe2e-fig-06-45-0.jpg

Figure 6.46 The development of stereoacuity wolfe2e-fig-06-46-0.jpg

Development of Binocular Vision and Stereopsis Abnormal visual experience can disrupt binocular vision: Critical period: In the study of development, a period of time when the organism is particularly susceptible to developmental change Strabismus: A misalignment of the two eyes such that a single object in space is imaged on the fovea of one eye, and on the nonfoveal area of the other (turned) eye Suppression: In vision, the inhibition of an unwanted image

Figure 6.48 Left esotropia wolfe2e-fig-06-48-0.jpg

Development of Binocular Vision and Stereopsis Esotropia: Strabismus in which one eye deviates inward (cross-eyed) Exotropia: Strabismus in which one eye deviates outward Next time: perceiving movement
