Mislocalization of diplopic images

Not Accessible

Abstract

When observers dichoptically view bar stimuli at disparities beyond the fusion limit, the bars are perceived as being closer together than they really are. When 6.0-cycle/deg vertical derivative-of-Gaussian bars are adjusted into apparent alignment with binocularly presented spots, the mislocalization of each bar’s half-image is typically 2–5 arcmin for disparities below 60 arcmin. The effect does not generalize to an additional monocular probe bar at more-eccentric locations, thus excluding reflex vergence eye movements as an explanation. Instead, the results indicate a process of interocular matching that seeks to attribute similar directions as well as depths to matching half-images.
