Binocular Vision: The Eyes Add and Subtract

نویسنده

  • Frederick A.A. Kingdom
چکیده

Our two eyes' views of the outside world are slightly different, providing the basis for stereopsis. A new study has found evidence that the human visual system has separately adaptable channels for adding and subtracting the neural signals from the two eyes, supporting an unconventional view of the initial stages of stereopsis.

تاثیر هم افزایی دوچشمی بر مولفه های موج پتانسیل برانگیخته بینایی

  Background : To determine the effect of binocular summation on the time domain transient VEP wave's components.   Methods : The monocular and binocular transient visual evoked potentials of 21 normally vision volunteers 18 to 24 years (mean ± SD, 20.7 ± 1.9) during a reversing checkerboard stimulus with spatiotemporal frequency of 2.18-4 cpd-Hz were recorded. The amplitude and latency of N75,...

Safety and effectiveness of the SUPRACOR presbyopic LASIK algorithm on hyperopic patients

BACKGROUND To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Supracor excimer laser algorithm to treat hyperopic presbyopic patients using laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS This is a retrospective case review of patients diagnosed with hyperopia (Sphere ≥ +0.0 D and presbyopia reading add ≥ 1.0 D) who underwent Supracor excimer laser treatment on at least one eye for presbyopia corr...

Binocular combination in abnormal binocular vision.

We investigated suprathreshold binocular combination in humans with abnormal binocular visual experience early in life. In the first experiment we presented the two eyes with equal but opposite phase shifted sine waves and measured the perceived phase of the cyclopean sine wave. Normal observers have balanced vision between the two eyes when the two eyes' images have equal contrast (i.e., both...

“Trait” and “state” aspects of fixation disparity during reading

Eye movement research in reading has traditionally been associated with the investigation of visual processing and language comprehension (see, for example: (Kliegl, Nuthmann & Engbert, 2006, Liversedge, White, Findlay & Rayner, 2006b, Rayner, 1998)). Central to the description (and prediction) of eye movement behaviour during reading are saccades and fixations, which are traditionally extracte...

Binocular luminance summation in humans with defective binocular vision.

Subjects with no functional binocularity (no stereopsis and no peripheral fusion) show much less binocular summation of the pupillary response (about 12%) than normal subjects (29%). However, summation is occasionally quite high in clinically stereoblind subjects. The reasons could be the simultaneous use of nonoverlapping fields of the two eyes in large-angle exotropes, peripheral fusion (comm...
