Description of the research topic:

The objective of this project is a feasibility study of using Julesz’s binocular cyclopean stimuli as a potential tool to detect amblyopia. Student will learn the methodological principles of binocular visual stimulation, i.e. Dynamic Random Dot Correlograms (DRDCs), Dynamic Random Dot Stereograms (DRDSs), and the effects of stimulus parameters (e.g. dot density, disparity, frame rate and noise) on the phsychophysiologic responses. Results, compared with data collected under different stimulation conditions, may help to understand how these binocular stimuli are processed in the human brain and provide further evidences how these techniques could be used in the clinical practice. Successful accomplishment of the program will provide valuable data to answer basic scientific questions and have clinical utility too. Implementation of these powerful methods can be used in screening for amblyopia, the leading cause of vision loss under the age of 40, and contribute to the understanding of early postnatal visual development.
