Test 3 Flashcards

1
Q

Rivalry

A

When your brain can’t fuse the images. Sensory fusion requires that similar images be presented simultaneously to corresponding points in the two eyes or panums.

Q

Two types of binocular rivalry

A
  1. Exclusive dominance.
    - Targets are perceived to come from exclusively 1 eye, then the other.
    - Small targets, eccentric targets.
  2. Mosaic Dominance.
    - Targets are perceived as mosaics/zones.
    - Large targets, close to foveal targets.

*not under voluntary control. Images on nasal retina tend to dominate over temporal retina.

Q

If the two eyes have equal dominance, then the eye presented the weaker image will be suppressed. Weaker images include

A

Dimmer, blurred, stationary, or images on nasal retina (weaker than temporal retina).

(Motion can be used to break suppression, strong stimulus)

Q

Where does rivalry and suppression originate in the brain

25
Absolute vertical disparity
Difference between the angles of elevation measured separately of the two eyes for one point.
26
Relative vertical disparity
The difference between the absolute vertical disparities of two points. Not affected by vertical misalignment. Do not yield perception of depth.
27
Disparity gradient
Linear change in horizontal disparity across space. Encodes slant. Disparity gradient= disparity / separation.
28
Binocularly linked images | two types
Images of any type that engage the disparity detection system. Linked corresponding images- correctly matched images. Linked non corresponding- Incorrectly matched images and produce depth
29
Disparity in the stereogram vs real depth
Disparity in stereogram= 1/ distance Real depth= 1/ square root of distance
30
Line or contour stereograms are used to evaluate
Local stereopsis. Individual elements such as lines, edges, or contours are displaced in each half view to yield disparity. Ex: wirt circles.
31
Random dot stereograms are used to evaluate
Global stereopsis. One half view has some portion of it's elements displaced laterally relative to those elements in corresponding positions. Large areas of the binocular view must be matched by finding patterns
32
Seeing shapes in random dot stereograms requires
Local and global stereo. Takes longer to do this. Object recognition is not a prerequisite
33
The corresponding problem
information from elements does not restrict the number of possible partings between the left and right eye's images. Brain must figure out which match is correct. Depth ambiguity- no obvious solution about which dot each eye should fixate in order to fuse.
34
Correlation using pixels
Mean luminance is zero Bright dot is 1 Dark dot is -1 Correlation= 1 x number of pixels / # of positions When all positions are identically filled = +1 When all are randomly filled = 0 Half are identical, half are random = 0.5
35
Stereoacuity (Dmin)
Minimal retinal disparity that can be detected. | Threshold for humans is 4-5 ec of arc. Possible to record as low as 2.
36
98% of pop has stereo better than
40 sec
37
Wy doesn't good stereoacuity translate to good stereopsis all the time?
Some people demonstrate asymmetries in the ability to see crossed vs uncrossed disparities.
38
Disparity angle =
2pd x distance between the two targets _______________________________ fixation distance ^2
39
Are fine or large disparities processed first?
large.
40
Magnocellular and parvocellular system and disparities
Magno sees coarse disparities in motion | Parvo sees static fine disparities.
41
Best stereoacuity is when
Targets are separated 15-50 sec of arc. Duration is at least 100 msec Natural fixation (slight movements)
42
Stereoacutiy worsens when
Targets are closer than 15 or further than 50 sec of arc Short duration = threshold increases Motion more than 2-3 degrees/ sec Monocular blur Blue target (S cones have large receptive fields)
43
How does contrast affect stereoacuity when less than or greater than 10x the threshold
Greater than 10x the threshold stereo = 1/ contrast ^3 Less than 10x the contrast Stereo= 1 / contrast ^2
44
Mechanisms to detect motion/disparity changes in the Z axis
Serial processing- uses both eyes to detect disparity over time, Parallel procssing- using monocular half images to look at velocity differences.
45
When stereo fails Patent Quantitative Latent Qualitative
Patent- Disparities within and slightly beyond panums. Direction and magnitude can be detected. Latent- Stereo from a point greater than panums. Can detect direction, but not magnitude.
46
Dmax (upper limits of stereo) increases with
Retinal eccentricity.
47
Stereoscopic scotoma vs stereomotion scotoma
Stereoscopic- cannot perceive crossed or uncrossed. Stereo motion- cannot perceive motion but can see static stereo
48
Stereo and strabismsus
``` Worse stereo thresholds (Dmin) due to crowding. Upper limit (D max) is still in tact. ``` Poor static stereo because esotropia? Can usually appreciate stereo motion better.
49
Corpus callosum
Detects coarse disparities larger than 2 degrees. along the vertical midline.
50
LGN layers and ocular dominance
Magnocellular- layers 1, 2 (ventral) Parvocellular- layers 3-6 (dorsal) Contra- 1, 4, 6 Ipsi- 2,3,5
51
V1 libel and wiesel cell types
Type 1- only contra Type 4- both Type 7- only Ipsi
52
OD columns are most clear where
Layer 4C. Highest proportion of monocular neurons.
53
__% of V1 neurons are binocular. Except in layers 4C
50%
54
3 broad types of neurons in V1-V3
1. Flat neurons. Binocular cells that don't care about stereo. 2. Reciprocal. - Near and far. 3. Disparity tuned - Tuned zero and inhibitory - Tuned near and far
55
Area v2 contains the cytochrome oxidase stripes
Thick- magnocellular. Coarse stereo. with high temporal frequency. Thin- parvocellular. Fine stereo, low temporal frequency.
56
V5 (MT)
Specific for stereo motion. | Feeds into middle superior temporal area (MST) which gives information about self motion.
57
Postioer parietal cortex lesion
Impairs stereo, spatial memory and spatial attention
58
VEP beat responses
Duanes has decreased amp based on what you would expect but better binocular summation.
59
Difference between positional and phase disparities during cortical coding
Positional- binocular neuron has highest firing rate when stimulus falls on R and L receptive fields with horizontal offset. Phase- Centers of receptive fields are aligned, but their on/off regions are offset.
60
Critical periods for retina vs brain
retinal develops earlier in critical period | Spatial and binocular vision takes longest to develop.
61
Convergence and fine stereo develop faster than
Divergence and fine monocular VA in children
62
LGN development at birth
Already segregated into layers at birth. Do not need visual stimuli.
63
Hebbs rule
Connections about synapses.
64
How does artificially induced strab affect LGN and V1
Slight shrink in LGN parvo cells loss of V1 binocularity. Constant strab- more cells in category 1. Alternating strab- Equal cells in category 1 and 7
65
What compounds cause cortical plasticity
NMDA Nerve growth factor NE
66
Sherington
First evidence of binocular summation with flicker. Could see more Hz when in phase OU
67
Do we have better binocular summation/faciliation at low or high temporal frequencies?
Facilitation and low linear summation at mid Partial summation at high We need a slower moving target to see depth.
68
Contrast sensitivity is better with binocular viewing. The improvement of binocular over monocular contrast sensitivity is a factor of
1.4
69
Independence and interaction theory
Independece- Brain uses probability summation to detect stimuli wrong. Interaction- signal must arrive to the two eyes at same time. must be on corresponding points on retina Stimuli must be similar
70
Fechners
One bright light and one dim light= brain will average it.
