Abstract
This report describes a method of restricting visual stimuli either to the frontal or to the lateral visual field in pigeons, using, goggles and colored filters. This technique permits the sequential or simultaneous presentation of discriminative stimuli to each eye separately for the study of inter-hemispheric transfer of visual information. Behavioral data are presented to demonstrate the adequacy of the method.
