Date of correction: February 24, 2009 Reason for correction: - Correction: ABSTRACT Details: Wrong : As a part of a series of experimental studies upon the Luneburg theory of binocular visual space, results were described of the 3- and 4-point experiments and of the parallel and distance alley experiments all having been carried out with three Ss in a spacious dark field. Light points were at eye level and the farthest one was 1610 cm apart from the S. Analysis was made in terms of the theory with the modified mapping function introduced by Blank and Hardy. The result was in support of Luneburg's basic conception that the binocular visual space be hyperbolic, though quantitative coincidence between the theory and the experimental data was not entirely satisfactory.

Abstract

As a part of a series of experimental studies upon the Luneburg theory of binocular visual space, results were described of the 3-and 4-point experiments and of the parallel and distance alley experiments all having been carried out with three Ss in a spacious dark field. Light points were at eye level and the farthest one was 1610 cm apart from the S. Analysis was made in terms of the theory with the modified mapping function introduced by Blank and Hardy. The result was in support of Luneburg's basic conception that the binocular visual space be hyperbolic, though quantitative coincidence between the theory and the experimental data was not entirely satisfactory.
