The effect of horizontal-plane environment on the development of binocular receptive fields of cells in cat visual cortex

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

1. The different perception of vertical in the two eyes (Helmholtz, 1864) was interpreted as an adaptation of cortical binocular receptive fields to the bias distribution of orientation disparity in the visual environment resulting from the relative frequency of contours in horizontal planes below eye level (ground, table) compared to other orientations in space.
