What's the difference between converge and horopter?
Converge
Definition:
(v. i.) To tend to one point; to incline and approach nearer together; as, lines converge.
(v. t.) To cause to tend to one point; to cause to incline and approach nearer together.
Example Sentences:

(2) Since only a few of these medium sized terminals in any one cluster degenerate after tectal lesions, and none degenerate after cortical lesions, it is suggested that the morphological arrangement of these clusters may permit the convergence of axons from several sources, some of which are unidentified, onto the same dendritic segment.
(3) Eye movements of convergence and divergence were recorded by a limbus tracker.

(12) Indeed this procedure is the only one which can act in a fitted manner on muscular spasms responsible of more than 60% of convergent squints.
(13) Consistent with the convergence hypothesis, only those sites that specify amino acids in the mature lysozyme are shared uniquely with ruminant lysozyme genes.
(14) Prism fixation disparity curves were determined in three different experimental situations: the routine method according to Ogle, a method to stimulate the synkinetic convergence (Experiment I, with one fixation point as sole binocular stimulus) and a method to stimulate the fusion mechanism (Experiment II, with random dot stereograms).
(15) Convergent validity between the two non-verbal memory tests, discriminant validity against tests of verbal memory, and criterion-related validity in relation to the influence of different treatment modalities, indicate the tests as valid instruments for measuring non-verbal memory.
(16) Because current family systems theory indicates that positive individual relationships within a dyad (e.g., child-mother) should be related to an overall favorable impression of the family system, we hypothesized that these two instruments should demonstrate convergence on selected dimensions.
(17) Convergence to similar structures obtained with root-mean-square deviations between resulting structures of 0.37 to 0.92 A for the central hexamer of the octamer.
(18) Convergent results from a multimethod assessment of the issue show that methadone maintenance has long-term and short-term suppressive effects on narcotics use and property crime.
(19) Several conventional internal fixation techniques and a three converging screw method were used.
(20) These neurons showed a high degree of synaptic convergence, also responding synaptically with a high-frequency burst of spikes to stimulation of both visual area 2 and the corpus callosum.
Horopter
Definition:
(n.) The line or surface in which are situated all the points which are seen single while the point of sight, or the adjustment of the eyes, remains unchanged.
Example Sentences:
(1) An additional subject showed irregular alterations in vergence posture during nonius horopter measurements.
(2) The results of our physiological analysis in the burrowing owl (Speotyto cunicularia) also reveal a tilted horopter in this terrestrial avian species.
(3) Determining the mean of several sets of replications smoothed out the horopter.
(4) The depth data suggests that, at least in the near field, the zero value for relative depth lies at the same absolute depth as the stereo horopter (locus of zero stereo disparity).
(5) In addition to localized irregularities in the horopter locus, shifts in fixation disparity produced regional distortions of the horopter.
(6) For normal subjects with good stereopsis the equidistance (stereoscopic distance matching) horopter shape was altered with the application of lateral prism.
(7) Regardless of spatial frequency, stereo sensitivity declined rapidly as stimuli were presented away from the horopter.
(8) Fixation disparity values derived from horopter measurements are compared with those determined using the disparometer on seven subjects wearing lateral prisms.
(9) Horopters in exotropes appear to be very similar to those found in normal binocular subjects.
(10) The width of these disparity tuning functions varied from 5 arc min for adaptation at the horopter to 20 arc min for adaptation at 20 arc min disparity.
(11) However, the mean standard error of the means of several replications produced a more nearly smooth horopter locus.
(12) There is a gradual increase in stereo-threshold as the targets are moved out along the horopter, away from the fixation point into the peripheral visual field.
(13) Relative depth discrimination is, then, operative over a very wide band of visual space around the horopter (about 3 deg of absolute disparity in the centre of the visual field and even more in the periphery).5.
(14) The horopter (the locus of targets that appear to be fused binocularly) is the region of maximum stereoacuity and this does not necessarily coincide with the Vieth-Müller circle (the locus of zero geometric or absolute disparity).
(15) We have undertaken a determination of the vertical horopter in two species by simultaneously mapping the receptive field positions of binocular cortical neurons at various elevations along the zero azimuthal meridians.
(16) Several up-down illusions involving apparent distance may well be due to these disparities, including (a) backward tilt of the apparent vertical and of the vertical horopter, (b) the 'soup-bowl sky' illusion, and (c) the 'diverging sunbeams' illusion.
(17) Plotting the mean and standard error of the means of these seven sets of data produced a smoothing out of the horopter locus.
(18) Since the two eyes' zero meridians define physiologically the positions of corresponding retinal points, this out-torsion results in a vertical horopter in the mid-sagittal plane which is tilted away from the alert, unparalyzed cat.
(19) Such low-frequency, inter-fixational variation in torsional difference between the eyes must produce spurious horizontal disparities in the upper and lower visual fields, and should thereby limit the precision with which the vertical horopter can be evaluated.
(20) The results produced a refined horopter locus and suggested that the so-called Vieth-Mueller circle is an adequate describer of the empirical longitudinal horopter, except in those cases involving uncorrected aniseikonia.
