The possibility has been explored that a subset of physiologically identifiable cells in the
visual cortex is especially suited for the processing of stereoscopic depth information. First, …

Neurons in the central visual pathways process visual images within a localized region of
space, and a restricted epoch of time. Although the receptive field (RF) of a visually responsive …

Human observers combine multiple sensory cues synergistically to achieve greater perceptual
sensitivity, but little is known about the underlying neuronal mechanisms. We recorded …

1. Most studies of cortical neurons have focused on the spatial structure of receptive fields.
For a more complete functional description of these neurons, it is necessary to consider …

▪ Abstract Binocular disparity provides the visual system with information concerning the
three-dimensional layout of the environment. Recent physiological studies in the primary visual …

1. We have tested the hypothesis that simple cells in the cat's visual cortex perform a linear
spatiotemporal filtering of the visual image. To conduct this study we note that a visual neuron …

BINOCULAR neurons in the visual cortex are thought to perform the first stage of processing
for the fine stereoscopic depth discrimination exhibited by animals with frontally located eyes…

Stereopsis is the perception of depth based on small positional differences between images
formed on the two retinae (known as binocular disparity). Neurons that respond selectively …

1. The classically defined receptive field of a visual neuron is the area of visual space over
which the cell responds to visual stimuli. It is well established, however, that the discharge …

Integration of multiple sensory cues is essential for precise and accurate perception and
behavioral performance, yet the reliability of sensory signals can vary across modalities and …
