Stereo capture: local rematching driven by binocularly attended 3-D configuration rather than retinal images.
Previous explanations for stereo capture were mainly based on the low-level perceptual processing of binocular stereopsis which usually shows that one pair of retinal images corresponds to only one 3-D perceptual configuration. Stereo capture, however, may encounter multiple perceptual configurations due to the matching ambiguity of wallpaper elements that may not be solved merely by bottom-up processing of the retinal stimuli. The present study suggests that binocular attention plays an important role in stereo capture by way of selecting and enhancing a perceptual configuration that is often ambiguous without attention involved. Stereo capture results from wallpaper's local rematching driven by binocularly attended 3-D configuration rather than retinal images.
