Stereoacuity depends not only on the carrier frequency of Gabor stimuli, but also upon their size. To determine if this is also the case at large disparities, we have measured the upper limit for stereopsis, "Dmax", and assessed its dependence on carrier frequency and overall envelope size. The results differ markedly from the stereoacuity data. Dmax for stereopsis is primarily dependent on the...

Though experience tells us we can perceive depth in dim light, it is not so obvious that one of the chief mechanisms for depth perception, stereopsis, is possible under scotopic conditions. The only studies on human stereopsis in the dark adapted state seem to be those of Nagel [(1902) Zeitschrift für Psychologie, 27, 264-266] and Mueller and Lloyd [(1948) Proceedings of the National Academy of...

Depth perception in strabismus SIR, Recently Henson and Williams published an article entitled 'Depth perception in strabismus." Regettably, the authors did not review the literature completely. If they had, they would have noted that Cooper and Warshowsky2 scientifically evaluated monocular cues in the Titmus stereo test, and that Cooper and Feldman36 looked at the availability of monocular cu...

Objective: Aim of this study was to evaluate possible risk factors affecting stereopsis in patients with refractive accommodative esotropia (RAE). Materials and Methods: The retrospective investigation performed on the records children RAE. Two groups were made according presence stereopsis. presumed onset age RAE, at initial correction, mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), angle deviation...

Stereopsis, the perception of depth based on the disparity of the images projected to the retinas of the two eyes, is an important process in our three-dimensional world; however, 3-5% of the population is stereoblind or has seriously impaired stereovision. Here we provide evidence for the recovery of stereopsis through perceptual learning, the repetitive practice of a demanding visual task, in...

Stereoscopic depth perception may be obtained from small retinal disparities that can be fused for single vision (fine stereopsis), but reliable depth information is also obtained from larger disparities that produce double vision (coarse stereopsis). Here we assess the possibility that the early development of coarse stereopsis makes it resilient to the factors that cause amblyopia by comparin...

PURPOSE This study examines whether brief periods of binocular vision could preserve stereopsis in monkeys reared with optical strabismus. METHODS Starting at 4 weeks of age, six infant monkeys were reared with a total of 30 prism diopters base-in split between the eyes. Two of the six monkeys wore prisms continuously, one for 4 weeks and one for 6 weeks. Four of the six monkeys wore prisms b...

Stereoscopic depth perception may be obtained from small retinal disparities that can be fused for single vision (fine stereopsis), but reliable depth information is also obtained from larger disparities that produce double vision (coarse stereopsis). While there is some evidence that stereoacuity improves with age, little is known about the development and maturation of coarse stereopsis. Here...

The effect of horizontal acceleration on human visual acuity and stereopsis is demonstrated in this study. Twenty participants (mean age 22.6 years) were enrolled in the experiment. Acceleration from two different directions was performed at the Taiwan High-Speed Rail Laboratory. Gx and Gy (< and >0.1 g) were produced on an accelerating platform where the subjects stood. The visual acuity and s...
