The science behind virtual reality displays

P Scarfe, A Glennerster - Annual review of vision science, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Virtual reality (VR) is becoming an increasingly important way to investigate sensory
processing. The converse is also true: in order to build good VR technologies, one needs an …

150,000-year palaeoclimate record from northern Ethiopia supports early, multiple dispersals of modern humans from Africa

HF Lamb, CR Bates, CL Bryant, SJ Davies, DG Huws… - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
Climatic change is widely acknowledged to have played a role in the dispersal of modern
humans out of Africa, but the timing is contentious. Genetic evidence links dispersal to …

“What not” detectors help the brain see in depth

NR Goncalves, AE Welchman - Current Biology, 2017 - cell.com
Binocular stereopsis is one of the primary cues for three-dimensional (3D) vision in species
ranging from insects to primates. Understanding how the brain extracts depth from two …

Modelling binocular disparity processing from statistics in natural scenes

T Chauhan, Y Héjja-Brichard, BR Cottereau - Vision Research, 2020 - Elsevier
The statistics of our environment impact not only our behavior, but also the selectivity and
connectivity of the early sensory cortices. Over the last fifty years, powerful theories such as …

The active side of stereopsis: Fixation strategy and adaptation to natural environments

A Gibaldi, A Canessa, SP Sabatini - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
Depth perception in near viewing strongly relies on the interpretation of binocular retinal
disparity to obtain stereopsis. Statistical regularities of retinal disparities have been claimed …

Emergence of binocular disparity selectivity through Hebbian learning

T Chauhan, T Masquelier, A Montlibert… - Journal of …, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
Neural selectivity in the early visual cortex strongly reflects the statistics of our environment
(;). Although this has been described extensively in literature through various encoding …

A dataset of stereoscopic images and ground-truth disparity mimicking human fixations in peripersonal space

A Canessa, A Gibaldi, M Chessa, M Fato, F Solari… - Scientific data, 2017 - nature.com
Binocular stereopsis is the ability of a visual system, belonging to a live being or a machine,
to interpret the different visual information deriving from two eyes/cameras for depth …

Exploitation of image statistics with sparse coding in the case of stereo vision

GA Ecke, HM Papp, HA Mallot - Neural Networks, 2021 - Elsevier
The sparse coding algorithm has served as a model for early processing in mammalian
vision. It has been assumed that the brain uses sparse coding to exploit statistical properties …

Autonomous development of active binocular and motion vision through active efficient coding

A Lelais, J Mahn, V Narayan, C Zhang, BE Shi… - Frontiers in …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
We present a model for the autonomous and simultaneous learning of active binocular and
motion vision. The model is based on the Active Efficient Coding (AEC) framework, a recent …

The upper disparity limit increases gradually with eccentricity

S Ghahghaei, S McKee, P Verghese - Journal of Vision, 2019 - jov.arvojournals.org
Stereopsis is important for tasks of daily living such as eye-hand coordination. It is best in
central vision but is also mediated by the periphery. Previously we have shown that …
