Abstract
A NOISE signal has the useful property that convolution of the output spectrum with the reciprocal of the input spectrum gives a measure of the characteristics of the transmitting system. In visual perception it is not possible to obtain the output spectrum directly, but an observer can report on features of the ‘perceptual output’ of the visual system1. One striking characteristic which may be observed is the generation of stereoscopic depth merely by an interocular delay in transmitting binocular dynamic visual noise.
