For example, with light bars presented against a darker background, convergent disparities may be confused with similar stimuli presented monocularly to only one eye, whereas divergent disparities may be identified correctly. If now the contrast of the bars is reversed, so that they appear dark against a lighter background, then the stereo discrimination will reverse: convergent disparities will be identified correctly, whereas the divergent disparities previously discriminated now will be confused with the monocular stimuli. Such reversals in depth may be the result of interactions between center and surround components of disparity mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":78011,"journal":{"name":"American journal of optometry and archives of American Academy of Optometry","volume":"50 11","pages":"853-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/00006324-197311000-00003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"15624575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An alternating bar grating generated the VER which would directly include the measurement of astigmastism. It was discovered that latency as well as amplitude of the evoked response were affected by the image clarity. Sensitivity to focus was estimated to be ± 1 diopter with the amplitude criterion. The latency criterion appeared to be promising for quantitative analysis of blur. Comparison of our results were made with those of others, and differences discussed. It appears that the VER is not as sensitive to optical degradation of bar gratings as to checkerboards. Suggestions are made for improvement of the methods in order to obtain better sensitivity to focus changes.","PeriodicalId":78011,"journal":{"name":"American journal of optometry and archives of American Academy of Optometry","volume":"50 11","pages":"889-903"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/00006324-197311000-00007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"15689671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
