(13) We examined two explanations of the variation--that it is the result of the cyclopean eye being nearer to one eye, and that it is the result of a pervasive bias, within an individual, to make larger saccades either leftward or rightward.
(14) For the control of depth perception and the evaluation of stereoscopic acuity, two types of tests were programmed: line stereograms made of series of vertical lines varying in number and relative spacing or stylized shapes, random dot stereograms with different cyclopean shapes (circle, square, triangle or scaled pyramid), some of them with reduced binocular correlation according to Julesz.
(15) Moreover, significant interdomain masking also occurred, in equal measure for the cyclopean and luminance stimuli, although the magnitude of masking was one-half that of intradomain masking.
(16) To provide comparison data, observers were also tested with luminance-domain stimuli matched as closely as possible to their cyclopean counterparts.
(17) In the second class of models, it is assumed that the left- and right-eye patterns are first summed to form a "Cyclopean" eye.
(18) This is poor acuity in comparison to vernier thresholds with monocular contour, but if the limited resolution acuity for stereopsis is taken into account, cyclopean and monocular positional acuities can be considered quite similar in relation to their respective resolution limits.
(19) The interpretation of these findings in terms of luminance-domain spatial frequency filtering is challenged by experiments in which the same results were obtained with kinetic and cyclopean forms.
(20) This study investigated the perception of bistable stroboscopic motion (Ternus display) with cyclopean stimuli created from retinal disparity embedded in dynamic random-element stereograms, the responses to which arise at binocular-integration levels of the visual system.

Definition:
