Temporal detection thresholds are reported from two subjects to dynamic random dot stereograms (DRDSs) of both crossed and uncrossed disparity. The stimuli were 1 degree square, of 0.25 degrees disparity and were presented at 81 positions in a 9 degree square central region. In both subjects crossed disparity stimuli were detected at shorter durations. One subject displayed particularly acute stereoscopic vision and presented a pattern of temporal thresholds increasing gradually with eccentricity. The other subject displayed evidence, particularly in response to uncrossed stimuli, of a 'stereo-scotoma' which was not evident in monocular testing or ophthalmologic examination. Criteria used to define 'stereo-scotoma' are discussed. It was concluded that, although left-right field differences may be found with a large subject sample, individual factors may be more important in the distribution of stereo sensitivity throughout the portion of visual field tested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
