Large evoked potentials to dynamic random-dot correlograms and stereograms permit quick determination of stereopsis.

RESUMO

The combination of three technological innovations permits the fast and objective determination of stereopsis in nonverbal subjects: (i) It is shown that dynamic random-dot correlograms (RDC) are as effective as dynamic random-dot stereograms (RDS) in eliciting large evoked potentials (EP), and that the generation of RDC is simpler than that of RDS. (ii) The presentation of RDC in the form of red-green anaglyphs is insensitive to subjects' head tilt, because alternation of correlation (binocular fusion) with uncorrelation (binocular rivalry) does not depend on the direction of binocular disparity, whereas perception of depth in RDS does. (iii) Projection TV techniques, using backprojected large screens viewed from near distances, permit noncooperative subjects (e.g., human infants or monkeys) to be surrounded with the stimulus, so they cannot look away.
