On the road to invariant object recognition: How cortical area V2 transforms absolute to relative disparity during 3D vision

S Grossberg, K Srinivasan, A Yazdanbakhsh - Neural networks, 2011 - Elsevier
Invariant recognition of objects depends on a hierarchy of cortical stages that build
invariance gradually. Binocular disparity computations are a key part of this transformation …

Understanding the cortical specialization for horizontal disparity

JCA Read, BG Cumming - Neural computation, 2004 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Because the eyes are displaced horizontally, binocular vision is inherently anisotropic.
Recent experimental work has uncovered evidence of this anisotropy in primary visual …

Vertical binocular disparity is encoded implicitly within a model neuronal population tuned to horizontal disparity and orientation

JCA Read - PLoS computational biology, 2010 - journals.plos.org
Primary visual cortex is often viewed as a “cyclopean retina”, performing the initial encoding
of binocular disparities between left and right images. Because the eyes are set apart …

Disparity sensitivity and binocular integration in mouse visual cortex areas

A La Chioma, T Bonhoeffer… - Journal of Neuroscience, 2020 - Soc Neuroscience
Binocular disparity, the difference between the two eyes' images, is a powerful cue to
generate the 3D depth percept known as stereopsis. In primates, binocular disparity is …

Relative disparity processing in the dorsal visual pathway

ML Patten, AP Murphy - Journal of Neuroscience, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
Binocular disparity results from the subtle differences between the two eyes' views, and
provides a powerful cue to the depth structure of the world around us. Disparity is widely …

A simple model accounts for the response of disparity-tuned V1 neurons to anticorrelated images

JCA Read, AJ Parker, BG Cumming - Visual neuroscience, 2002 - cambridge.org
Disparity-tuned cells in primary visual cortex (V1) are thought to play a significant role in the
processing of stereoscopic depth. The disparity-specific responses of these neurons have …

Binocular disparity information is an important source of 3D perception. Neurons sensitive to
binocular disparity are found in almost all major visual areas in nonhuman primates. In area …

Neural activity in cortical area V4 underlies fine disparity discrimination

HM Shiozaki, S Tanabe, T Doi, I Fujita - Journal of Neuroscience, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
Primates are capable of discriminating depth with remarkable precision using binocular
disparity. Neurons in area V4 are selective for relative disparity, which is the crucial visual …

Trade-off between curvature tuning and position invariance in visual area V4

TO Sharpee, M Kouh… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Humans can rapidly recognize a multitude of objects despite differences in their
appearance. The neural mechanisms that endow high-level sensory neurons with both …

Area-specific mapping of binocular disparity across mouse visual cortex

A La Chioma, T Bonhoeffer, M Hübener - Current Biology, 2019 - cell.com
Depth perception is a fundamental feature of many visual systems across species. It is
