Cuttlefish in 3D glasses watching a video of a shrimp. It's not something you've likely ever seen in your neighborhood pet store, but scientists at the University of Minnesota dared to try it.

“Stereopsis was once thought to be a human ability that even other mammals couldn’t do,” says Read. “Having an insect outperform our undergraduates on it was quite fun. ...

Stereopsis allows humans to judge distance and have true depth perception by extracting information from the left and right eyes and then letting our brains do some complex processing.

Stereopsis comes so naturally to us that we take it for granted. It’s actually a difficult computation that doesn’t happen automatically for every creature with a pair of forward-facing eyes.

To identify factors associated with stereopsis in children with good visual acuity after unilateral congenital cataract surgery in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study. Infants with a unilateral ...

By fitting 3D glasses on cuttlefish, scientists discovered that the creatures use stereopsis to calculate depth for capturing prey. Rachael Feord/Courtesy of Trevor Wardill ...

Their goal: To confirm that praying mantises can see in 3-D, an ability scientists call stereopsis, or binocular vision. The results, published recently in Scientific Reports, ...

Stereopsis Generated with Julesz Patterns in Spite of Rivalry Imposed by Colour Filters. V. S. Ramachandran and S. Sriram in Nature, Vol. 237, pages 347–348; June 9, 1972.

Known as stereopsis, the trick takes a lot of processing power—and scientists didn't think many animals had enough brains to do it. But that idea has slowly changed overtime.

Don't Miss: Stereopsis If anyone thinks we're too old to change, or that there's a point where we can't fix things about ourselves, take a listen to the story this morning from Robert Krulwich. It ...

Stereopsis is an important cue for depth perception, yet it can be a hindrance to an artist trying to depict a three-dimensional scene on a flat surface. Art teachers often instruct students to ...
