Effect of visual noise on pattern recognition.

abstract：:The spatial separation of the eyes in animals with overlapping visual fields means that parts of a three dimensional object project to slightly disparate retinal points in each eye. This disparity, once interpreted by the brain, is thought to be a sufficient condition for stereoperception. In the present experiment, s...
