title: Disparity acceleration effects in stereoscopy and their importance for theoretical neurology.
abstract: Stereoscopic perceptions have a special significance for brain modeling, because they require a special form of cortical integration for their appearance. We have newly observed, along ridges of very high stereoscopic disparity accelerations, narrow bands of exaggerated visual depth. These observations signal the importance of local excitation accelerations for future models of brain functions. Some key parameters of disparity acceleration bands are identified and their effects measured.
