Binocular Disparity in Single Slit Condition
Details
There are two types of binocular disparity, one of which is spatial binocular disparity, and the other is temporal binocular disparity. We carried out psychophysical experiments to investigate depth and motion perception from temporal disparity. We control information available to the visual system by a thin slit. The results indicate that temporal disparity gives correct depth and motion perception in anorthoscopic perception. The amount of absolute depth from temporal disparity is almost identical to that from spatial disparity. The results suggest that the cortical mechanism that processes simultaneously spatial and temporal information; presumably the two are inseparable in the neural system.
