The contribution of interocular orientation differences to depth perception, at either the
neuronal or the psychophysical level, is unclear. To understand the responses of binocular …

Most neurophysiological accounts of disparity selectivity in neurons of the primary visual
cortex (V1) imply that they are selective for absolute retinal disparities. By contrast, a number …

Three-dimensional (3D) shape is important for the visual control of grasping and
manipulation and for object recognition. Although there has been some progress in our …

Perception of stereoscopic depth requires that visual systems solve a correspondence
problem: find parts of the left-eye view of the visual scene that correspond to parts of the right …

Visual object recognition contains several stages of information processing carried out along
the ventral visual pathway. Brain imaging and behavioural studies have suggested …

Anatomical superposition of the cortical projections from the overlapping visual fields of the
two eyes does not make it obvious how the disposition of objects in the third dimension is …

Signals from the two eyes are first integrated in primary visual cortex (V1). In many
mammals, this binocular integration is an important first step in the development of …

Stereoscopic vision delivers a sense of depth based on binocular information but
additionally acts as a mechanism for achieving correspondence between patterns arriving at …

Stereoscopic depth perception relies on binocular disparities, or small geometric differences
between the retinal images of each eye. The most reliable binocular depth judgments are …

As we move through our environment, we encounter familiar objects from various
viewpoints. Despite the ensuing variability of the images projected onto the retina, we have …
