Term
Corresponding Points
Definition
places in the two retinas giving rise during binocular vision to the localization of sensations in the same visual direction.
Term
Vieth-Muller Circle
Definition
theoretical projection of corresponding points in space
Term
Horopter
Definition
experimental determination of the projectin of corresponding points in space
Term
What does visual brain do when images on the 2 retinas are different?
Definition

1) stereopsis

2) integrate the two images so both are simultaneously used for single vision

3) avg. the luminances of the 2 images

4) use info to create new perceptions

5) suppress one of the images (binocular rivalry)

Term
Stereopic Depth Perception
Definition

The greater the disparity, the greater the perceived depth.

related: stereopsis, disparity, crossed disparity and uncrossed disparity

Term
Depth Constancy
Definition
Observer perceives a constant amount of depth from a 3-D stimulus that is coming closer to the observer and presenting increasing amount of disparity as it approaches.
Term

Stereoscopes

(presents independent info to the two eyes)

Definition

Wheatstone Mirror Stereoscope

Prism Stereoscope

Anaglyphoschope

Polaroids

Pseudoscope

Telestereoscope

Autostereograms

Term
What are not stimuli for stereopsis?
Definition
Brightness/Lightness, Forms (shapes) and Lines are not cues for stereopsis.
Term
Binocular Visual Phenomena
Definition

Pulfrich Phenomenon

Fechner's Paradox

Binocular Rivalry

Binocular Color Fixture

Term
Pulfrich Phenomenon
Definition
1 eye covered by darkened lens and watches a pendulum swing from side to side but instead perceives an elliptical path rather than the linear one. Neurons in brain integrate the info from monocular targets that are on non-corresponding points and so the patient sees the target displaced in depth.
Term

Fechner's Paradox

 

Definition
1 eye is covered with darkened lens and when removed actually views the environment as less bright  instead of more bright since uncovering the eye, its visual system is being stimulated w/ increased total retinal illuminance.
Term
Binocular Rivalry
Definition
large differences between the images on the rwo retinas cause a fight for dominance thereby resulting in alternation suppressions of parts of the eye.
Term

Binocular Color Mixture

 

Definition
Red on Right eye, Green on left eye = observe perceives Yellow.
