Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This study employed a selective adaptation paradigm and investigated thresholds for direction discrimination of translational stereoscopic motion (moving binocular disparity information). The stimuli were moving arrays of randomly positioned stereoscopic discs created from disparity embedded in dynamic random-element stereograms. When discrimination thresholds were measured across a range of base directions following adaptation in a fixed direction, discrimination thresholds were maximally elevated 20-30 deg away from adaptation and reduced in the same direction as adaptation. These results are consistent with a distributed-channel model of direction coding and indicate that the direction of stereoscopic motion is encoded by adaptable direction-selective mechanisms similar to those proposed for luminance-defined motion.
