BVS 651 Binocular Vision and Space Perception
3.5 Lecture Hours, 2 Lab Hours, 0 Clinic Hours
This fundamental course in theoretical binocular vision discusses, in detail, topics such as physical and perceived space, the horopter, retinal correspondence, fusion, fixation disparity and stereopsis. Clinical relevancy of these fundamental concepts is emphasized. Additional topics concerned with visual perception will be presented including perception of size, visual direction and visual attention. Information processing theory will be used to develop a model for visual perception. Various clinical and visual phenomena including figure ground relationships, visual illusions, and neurological deficits will be used to illustrate the model.
