Cortical representation of visual three-dimensional space.

Abstract:

:Perception of real depth includes information on stereopsis and distance. How both interact in the visual pathway was the subject of a study performed on the behaving monkey. Neurons in the primary visual cortex (area V1) have their activity, visual and/or spontaneous, modulated by the viewing distance. Disparity selectivity may be present or better expressed at a given viewing distance. This modulation is independent of the visual pattern. The use of prisms shows that vergence is implicated in this phenomenon. Consequently, extraretinal signals related to ocular motility have access to area V1. Among them, proprioceptive signals from the eye muscles have been shown to be involved in visual cortical function and in the development of depth perception. It is possible that the same signals may also be involved in the distance modulation shown in V1 neurons, but this remains to be examined. A possible specialisation of disparity-selective cells in different cortical areas is discussed.

  • Expanding angles? Systematic distortions of space involving angular figures.

    abstract::Using simple, single angular figures, including figures containing only one line, we have shown systematic misestimations of distance defined by these figures. These misestimations are not related to the absolute distance per se, but are related both to the size of the angle defining the distance, and to the part of t...
