PSYC2274 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Visual Search, Depth Perception, Strabismus
Document Summary
But research concludes that people don"t really pay much attention to these, as there are many potential distractions. A series of shorter lectures online used to supplement each class. These could be around 10 minutes long until we make up the 75 minutes that were missed easier to pay attention to! So a little bit of review from the last class: Requires neurons that receive input from both eyes. The means of this boils down to neurons that have receptive fields in both eyes. In order to have a neuron that functions as a disparity detector, it has to have rf"s in each eye and it has to have disparity that matches the disparity that the neuron is trying to detect. For a neuron to be able to respond best to objects that have crossed disparity, it"s receptive fields also have to be at different locations. The cell is most active where rfs coincide - in front of horopter!
