Starlings can categorize symmetry differences in dot displays.
Fluctuating asymmetry is an estimate of developmental stability and, in some cases, the asymmetry of morphological traits can reflect aspects of individual fitness. As asymmetry can be a marker for fitness, it has been proposed that organisms could use morphological asymmetry as a direct visual cue during inter- and intraspecific encounters. Despite some experimental evidence to support this pr...
متن کاملOcclusion contributes to temporal processing differences between crossed and uncrossed stereopsis in random-dot displays
Stereoscopic depth discrimination was investigated in crossed and uncrossed directions using stimuli defined by binocular disparity differences embedded in dynamic random-dot stereograms. Across three experiments, fixation was directed to a point on the display screen (which placed crossed stimuli in front of and uncrossed stimuli behind, the background dots of the stereogram), to a point in fr...
متن کاملSymmetry in halo displays and symmetry in halo-making crystals.
The relation between the symmetry in halo displays and crystal symmetry is investigated for halo displays that are generated by ensembles of crystals. It is found that, regardless of the symmetry of the constituent crystals, such displays are always left-right (L-R) symmetric if the crystals are formed from the surrounding vapor. L-R symmetry of a halo display implies here that the cross sectio...
متن کاملSymmetry games in driven quantum dot circuits
Quantum dots are central components of semiconductor based electronic quantum circuits. They are being investigated for their potential for quantum information applications and provide a test bed for studying fundamental questions, for instance as local detector embedded in the matrix of a crystal. Laterally defined nanodevices allow the design of symmetry properties. This opens up new perspect...
متن کاملdmax for stereopsis and motion in random dot displays
The upper displacement limit for motion was compared with the upper disparity limit for stereopsis using two-frame random dot kinematograms or briefly presented stereograms. dmax (the disparity/displacement at which subjects make 20% errors in a forced-choice paradigm) was found to be very similar for motion and stereo at all dot densities, and to fall with increasing dot density (0.006% or two...
