Exam 3 shuffle Flashcards
How common are vertical disparities?
A daily occurrence, but vergence movements can overcome them
What acuity is a depth discrimination threshold?
Stereoacuity
As you bring a cube closer, the relative disparity increases. How do you say this mathematically?
Relative disparity between two points in real space is INVERSELY proportional to the square of the distance from the observer
____ disparity stimulates vergence in order to foveally fixate an object. ____ disparities encode the relative depth between the fixated object and other objects in the binocular field of view.
ABSOLUTE disparity stimulates vergence in order to foveally fixate an object. RELATIVE disparities encode the relative depth between the fixated object and other objects in the binocular field of view.
What is the geometric limit for disparity?
The farthest distance where disparity can help depth perception
Corresponding images arise from _____. And example is ___
The Same object. An example is looking at two dogs. Each eye has an image that’s slightly different
___ arcmin is the best stereoacuity to detect. Not so wide, not too close together
15-50
Thick cytochrome oxidase stripes (have magnocellular input) help with….
- Coarse stereopsis
- Low spatial frequency; high temporal frequency
- Selective for disparity and motion
in area V2
What is retinotopically mapped?
The LGN
What kind of cells help with this?
Fine stereopsis
High spatial frequency ; low temporal frequency
Pale (interstripes) cytochrome oxidase stripes (have parvocellular input via interblobs)
in area V2
Stereotheory in which eyes detect ____ over time is serial processing
Disparity change
How can foveal and parafoveal neurons differ from each other?
Half show preference with respect to binocular disparity, half don’t have a disparity preference
How are the stereoacuity and dynamic stereoacuity compare in normal vs strabismic?
Static is better than dynamic in normal. For strabs, they suck at both but have better dynamic compared to static
Good binocularity has what relationship between AC/A and CA/C ratios?
They are inversely related. A high AC/A balances out a low CA/C ratio
Stereotheory in which eyes detect retinal image velocity over time is ____ processing
Parallel. This likely isn’t true because stereomotion is serial processing, meaning more distractors make it harder to detect
Slant is with respect to the ___ meridian
90th meridian
How is the path for asymmetric disparity vergence?
Small vergence, then saccade to make disparity more symmetric, then symmetric vergence movement
Low spatial freq grating = (higher/lower) tolerance for vertical disparity?
High
Relative disparity increases ____ times when you move something 10 times closer.
Relative disparity increases 100 times when you move something 10 times closer. 10^2 = 100
Splitting the ____ results in a bitemporal hemianopia and complete loss of stereopsis for (CROSSED/UNCROSSED) disparities along the midline (in the primary direction of gaze).
They will have steropsis (behind/in front of) fixation point
Optic chiasm.
Uncrossed disparities.
They will have steropsis in front of fixation point
Lesions of the __ impaired stereopsis, spatial memory, spatial attention, and the ability to determine spatial
relationships among objects.
PPC (Posterior parietal cortex)
Left visual field represented in ___ hemisphere.
Left visual field represented in right hemisphere.
98% of population can achieve stereoacuity better than ___
40 arcsec
_____ is a change in the rate of disparity
Disparity curvature (like a tire swing)
A far neuron responds to what kind of disparity? Why does it exist?
Positive, uncrossed disparity. It helps vergence initiation
What clues can vertical disparities give about depth?
There are more vertical disparity for closer objects (especially when not at midline). Far objects have very little vertical disparity
What is SILO?
(small in large out) Target appears to shrink and move closer with BO prism
How is VECP useful for binocularity testing?
You can compare VECP between pt’s fused and unfused binocular stimuli
Measure bino “beat” response.
Stereotheory in which eyes detect disparity change over time is ____ processing
Serial
___% of V1 foveal and parafoveal neurons are binocular.
97
Non-corresponding images arise from ______
Distinct objects (that may be identical)
___% of V3 neurons respond to disparity. They respond ….
50%
Respond only to STATIC disparity. (I.E., seem NOT to respond to motion-in-depth)
_____ is the only direct means of seeing depth
Stereopsis
(serial/parallel) search is unaffected by number of distractors. Give an example.
Parallel search is unaffected by number of distractors.
an example is a blue circle among red squares
How does a small amount of x motion added to z motion affect performance for detecting motion and depth?
A small amount of X motion added to the Z motion greatly improves detecting motion and depth.
Static stereo and stereomotion are (serial/parallel) mechanisms.
Serial mechanisms, meaning more distractors make it harder to detect
Vergence is driven by ______
Binocular retinal disparity
What is the correspondence problem?
The elements do not differ in size, shape, luminance or color, so information from the elements themselves does not restrict the number of possible pairings between the left and right eyes’ images
Disparity in stereograms scales _____ with the target distance
Scales linearly with target distance
Coarse stereopsis is mediated by _____ system
magnocellular system
