Abstract
Where many models of depth perception focus on the processing of disparity cues alone, we here present two models of depth perception, the Cue Interaction model and the Prey-Localization Model, which involve cooperative computation using both disparity and accomodation as sources of depth information. We then introduce models of detour behavior in which such depth schemas can function as subsystems.
Preparation of this paper was supported in part by NIH under grant 7 R01 NS24926 from NINCDS. My grateful thanks to Donald House and Renu Chipalkatti with whom the research reported herein was conducted. Much of the argument here is developed at greater length and in richer detail in the forthcoming volume The Metaphorical Brain 2: An Introduction to Schema Theory and Neural Networks to be published by Wiley-Interscience.
