A neural model for binocular vergence control without explicit calculation of disparity
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computational model for the control of horizontal vergence, based on a population of disparity tuned complex cells, is presented. The model directly extracts the disparity-vergence response by combining the outputs of the disparity detectors without explicit calculation of the disparity map. The resulting vergence control yields to stable fixation and has small response time to a wide range of disparities. Experimental simulations with synthetic stimuli in depth validated the approach.

A cortical model for binocular vergence control without explicit calculation of disparity
A computational model for the control of horizontal vergence, based on a population of disparity tuned complex cells, is presented. Since the population is able to extract the disparity map only in a limited range, using the map to drive vergence control means to limit its functionality inside this range. The model directly extracts the disparity-vergence response by combining the outputs of th...
متن کاملModelling Short-Latency Disparity-Vergence Eye Movements Under Dichoptic Unbalanced Stimulation
Vergence eye movements align the optical axes of our two eyes onto an object of interest, thus facilitating the binocular summation of the images projected onto the left and the right retinae into a single percept. Both the computational substrate and the functional behaviour of binocular vergence eye movements have been the topic of in depth investigation. Here, we attempt to bring together wh...
متن کاملVergence Dynamics Predict Fixation Disparity
The neural origin of the steady-state vergence eye movement error, called binocular fixation disparity, is not well understood. Further, there has been no study that quantitatively relates the dynamics of the vergence system to its steady-state behavior, a critical test for the understanding of any oculomotor system. We investigate whether fixation disparity can be related to the dynamics of op...
متن کاملNeural network model of short-term horizontal disparity vergence dynamics1This study was presented in part at the 1995 Annual Meeting of ARVO and appeared in abstract form in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 36, S457.1
We present a neural network model of short-term dynamics of the human horizontal vergence system (HVS) and compare its predictions qualitatively and quantitatively with a large variety of horizontal disparity vergence data. The model consists of seven functional stages, namely: (1) computation of instantaneous disparity; (2) generation of a disparity map; (3) conversion of the disparity into a ...
