Description of the research topic:
The project is concerned with the neural mechanisms of stereopsis. Recent literature indicates that binocular information is processed by two parallel channels with a common origin in primary visual cortex. Cortical areas belonging to the dorsal stream evaluate disparity information for controlling eye movements and perception of 3D motion. By contrast, the ventral stream utilises depth information for image segmentation and object recognition. The two systems process the binocular stimulus by fundamentally different mechanisms, but their division is likely gradual. Also, the two mechanisms may occur concurrently and they may contribute to specific behavioural or neural responses to varying degrees. Based on our recent results, we aim to demonstrate and characterise these two mechanisms in electrophysiological (EEG, LFP, multi-electrode single unit) and functional imaging (optical imaging, fMRI) responses evoked by random dot stereograms. The measurements will be carried out mainly in experimental animals whereas parallel experiments in humans will supplement the study.
