Determinants of sensitivity to binocular disparity
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Binocular disparity is an important cue for human to perceive relative distance. Setting aside normal developmental changes there is much reported variability in stereoscopic vision in adults who have excellent monocular visual acuity in each eye. Such naturally occurring variations can be used as a tool to reveal the association between behavioral task performances and the underlying neural responses. This thesis will first review the studies over the past several decades that have described individual differences of binocular depth perception as well as studies that have attempted to uncover the potential factors associated with such variability. It will then report two studies that used natural stereoscopic images to understand neural responses to disparity. Both of the studies used individual differences as a tool to uncover determinants to neural responses to disparity in natural images. The results suggest that the meaningful scene content embedded in the monocular image content may interact with disparity processing. Studying "pure disparity" such as those using random dot stereograms might not be enough to understand our stereoscopic ability in relation to everyday life.
