The Neural
Control of Vision
P. Ongoing Research
To assess interocular integration, several tests were devised
three of which are shown in Figure 1.
For each test stimuli were flashed on through the stereoscope using binocular
or interocular conditions. One of the figure tests, shown on the left
in Figure 16-6 , involved the interolcular
presentation of triangles, right side up for one eye and upside down for
the other, which when integrated was perceived as the star of David. Under
binocular conditions both eyes were shown the star of David.
The second test shown consisted of words which under interocular presentation
conditions are perceived differently when the percept is integrated and
when it is not integrated; lack of integration is indicated when subjects
report seeing the word S U D or T R Y. Integrators report seeing the word
STURDY.
