Mechanisms for dynamic stereomotion respond selectively to horizontal velocity components.

When dynamic visual noise such as the 'snow' on a detuned television receiver is inspected with a delay between the signals in the two eyes, the noise appears to rotate in depth around a vertical axis. We propose that this dynamic noise stereophenomenon arises because channels tuned jointly to depth and motion respond selectively to horizontal motion components in the noise. We used spatially filtered stimuli to reduce the strength of vertically oriented Fourier components in the noise, and found that this reduced the strength of the stereophenomenon. Reducing the strength of horizontally oriented components had a lesser effect. Our evidence is consistent with the conclusion that stereo-motion is predominantly detected by oriented receptive fields with an aspect ratio similar to those of cortical simple cells.

Stereoscopic depth perception at high velocities.

The view of the world from different perspectives provided by the two eyes is used by the human visual system to compute the relative distances and solid shapes of objects. However, the traditional theory of binocular disparity takes little account of the fact that a moving target will stimulate many different sets of disparate points in the two eyes with a range of temporal delays. Here we show that stereoacuity for periodic grating is not degraded by velocities of up to 640 degrees s-1 provided that they do not move at a greater rate than 30 cycles s-1. The minimum detectable spatial phase difference between the eyes was equivalent to a spatial phase difference of about 5 degrees and an interocular temporal delay as small as 450 microseconds. We suggest that stereopsis for moving targets is accomplished by neurons having a spatial-temporal phase shift in their receptive fields between the eyes.
