Binocular Correspondence Flashcards
what is hering’s 2nd law of visual direction
there is a retinal point to point relationship between the 2 eyes
-for every retinal point in one eye there is a corresponding retinal point in the fellow eye w/ an identical sense of visual direction
what is hering’s 3rd law
objects on the visual axis of either eye in symmetrical convergence appear to be on the median plane of the head (straight ahead)
what is a cyclopean direction
a single visual direction in the binocular visual field
binocular egocentric direction = ___+_____
cyclopean direction+gaze registration
cyclopean directions are analagous to…
oculocentric direction
all points on the retina have a binocular corresponding point except…
at the optic nerve head
normal correspondence only dpends on the retinal points being stimulated and is nnot affected by…
image luminance contrast color size orientation
normal correspondence is very stable, altered by …
only a few minutes of arc in the foveas, and then only by extreme fusional stress
what is spatial correspondnce a property of
the brain
also evident in the somatosensory system
what is binocular disparity
stimulation of noncorresponding points
each pair of corresponding oculocenric directions form a single….
cyclopean direction
what is a single visual direction in the binocular visual field
cylclopean direction
what are some synonyms of binocular disparity
retinal disparity
physiological disparity
what can crossed disparities stimulate
- steroscropic “nearness” if not a large amount of disparity
- crossed diplopia from disparity too large
- ocular convergence can be stimulated to look at the near object
what can uncrossed disparity stimulate
- stereoscopic “farness” if disparity small enough
- uncrossed diplopia disparity too large
- ocular divergnce to look at far object
what is the horopter
the set of points in physical space that can stimulate corresponding retinal points when eyes are converged to aim at a fixation point
how is the horopter shaped
bowl-shaped surface in near vision and flattens out as you look farther away
what is the best at the horopter
stereopsis and binocular summation
-single vision also occurs here
what is the veith-muller circle (VMO)
what question does it answer
theoretical horopter
“in principle, where should you put lights in physical space to stimulate corresponding points”
what does the VMO assume
eyes are identical and optically undisorted
what do objects in the VMo stimulate
zero binocular disparity
waht can objects in the peripheral vision stimulate
cross disparity
zero disparity
uncrossed disparity
where are the images for crossed disparity
where is it in relation to the VMO
images are more temporalward on the retinas, relative to corresponding opints
-inside the VMO
where are the images for uncrossed disparity
where is it in relation to the VMO
images are more nasalward on the retinas, relavtive to correspoinding points
-outside the VMO
what is the empirical horopter
answering the question “where do i have to put lights in physical space to stimulate corresponding points in this person”
what direction do we measure the horopter
horiztonal (longtidinal) direction
what are the additional rod adjustment criteria that measure an approximate horopter
apparent fronto-parallel plane equal distance haplopia max stereo actuity zero vergence
which methods of measuring the horopter don’t reflect the effects of fixation disparity
apparent fronto-parallel plane
equal distance
which method of measuring the horopter measures the extent of panum’s area
haplopia “single vision”
what will non zero vergence make you use to see an object
vergence eye movement
how does maximum stereoscopic acuity work
finer the stereoscropic threshold, the closer a point is in space to the horopter
what results does the spatial plot of the horopter show
ELH results
