Abstract
The past year has seen significant advances in our understanding
of the role played by the primary visual cortex (V1) in stereoscopic
vision. Recently, the mechanism by which complex cells in V1 respond to
random-dot stereograms has been characterized; it appears that their
response properties greatly reduce the complexity of one of
the critical links for stereopsis, the correspondence problem.
