Binocular sensory fusion is limited by spatial resolution.

Abstract:

:Binocular sensory fusion which was previously thought to have a maximum spatial extent at the fovea of 1 deg is at least 600% larger when stimulated by low spatial frequency (coarse) detail. This upper limit for sensory fusion has a constant phase disparity limit of 90 deg which corresponds to the monocular Rayleigh criterion for spatial resolution of two diffraction patterns. At low spatial frequencies the sensory fusion limit equals the upper disparity limit for stereoscopic depth perception which suggests that a common mechanism underlies these two phenomena.

  • The rotating Pulfrich effect, and a new method of determining visual latency differences.

    abstract::A rotating Pulfrich effect is described and analysed in relation to the Fertsch-Pulfrich latency difference theory. Although some of the predictions conflicted with observations described by Pulfrich [Naturwissenschaften 10, 553-564 (1922)], they were confirmed by experiment, and led to a simple and sensitive method o...
