Does visual flicker phase at gamma frequency modulate neural signal propagation and stimulus selection?

abstract：:Accommodation and vergence help maintain single and focused visual experience while an object moves in depth. The relative importance of retinal blur and disparity, the primary sensory cues to accommodation and vergence, is largely unknown during development; a period when growth of the eye and head necessitate contin...
