Excerpt from Stereoscopic Vision and Its Relation to Intensity and Quality of Light Sensation: Thesis Presented to the University of Toronto for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Without entering into a discussion of this alleged space organ it will suffice to point out some of the assumptions which Storch finds it necessary to make in the application of his theory to experience. In the first place, he distinguishes between what he calls the visual form and the real form of perceived objects. Neither in monocular nor in binocular Vision is the spacial arrangement and form of the things which we really perceive simply the subjective aspect which is given by the stimulus. Entirely without our will the visual form is suppressed by the real form of the object. T he spacial element of visual perception has two components, one, inde pendent of all experience, is caused by the stimulus. This is the visual form, which comes into our consciousness as certain complexes of a two or three-dimensional nature. This visual form or space component furnished by the senses Storch calls the immediate element of visual perception. The other com ponent, which partially or completely suppresses the former, is the real form of the thing, which Storch calls the mediate spacial element, or associative component of visual percep tion. This distinction of real form from visual form involves a strange confusion of thought, and is wholly inconsistent with Storch's theory. If the form given in the stimulus is not seen, but is suppressed or altered by something else called the real form, why call the former Visual P Again, on Storch's theory, since complexes of sensation have not spacial quality without the excitation of a special space-organ, it must be through the excitation of that organ that we get the.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intriguing phenomenon of stereoscopic vision, exploring its intricate relationship with light intensity and quality. The author, an esteemed researcher in the field, challenges the traditional notion that monocular vision provides only lines and surfaces, demonstrating that it also offers depth perception, albeit less accurate than binocular vision. Through a series of meticulously designed experiments, the book investigates the relative brightness of monocular and binocular vision, uncovering surprising insights into the interplay between the two eyes. It examines the concept of Fechner's paradox, where darkening one eye can lead to an increase in the perceived brightness of the visual field, providing a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms of vision. Moreover, the book explores the role of light intensity and color differences in the perception of stereoscopic luster, revealing the critical factors that contribute to the appearance of depth and surfaceè ªæ. By combining rigorous experimentation with insightful analysis, this book not only enriches our understanding of stereoscopic vision but also offers valuable insights into the intricate workings of human perception.
