Abstract

Vision science is a truly interdisciplinary field of research, lying at the interface between psychology, computer science and neurobiology. It spans a, broad range of research questions, from what visual neurons in the brain do, to the design and rise of virtual reality technology. Here, I will take one well-researched area of human vision binocular depth perception, as an exemplar of the various ways in which the processes of human perception can be studied: from basic questions about, the sensitivity of binocular vision to understanding how having two eyes helps us function in the natural environment.
