    Visual acuity for nonius and vernier targets is similar at larger separations. However, dichoptic (two-eye) hyperacuity thresholds are higher than monocular (one-eye) thresholds at smaller separations due to convergence fluctuations.

    Area of Science:

    • Visual perception
    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Vernier and nonius alignment tasks are used to measure hyperacuity.
    • Understanding the limits of visual alignment precision is crucial for visual science.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare hyperacuity thresholds for nonius and vernier targets.
    • To investigate the influence of target separation on monocular and dichoptic hyperacuity.
    • To identify sources of noise affecting dichoptic visual judgments.

    Main Methods:

    • Measured dichoptic and monocular hyperacuity thresholds.
    • Varied the separation between target lines from small to large values.
    • Modeled dichoptic thresholds using noise components.

    Main Results:

    • Monocular and dichoptic thresholds were equal at line separations above 30-60 arcminutes.
    • At smaller separations, dichoptic thresholds were constant (0.6-0.7 arcmin) and higher than monocular thresholds.
    • Dichoptic noise comprises positional uncertainty and disjunctive convergence fluctuations.

    Conclusions:

    • Nonius and vernier alignment precision is comparable under certain conditions.
    • Disjunctive convergence fluctuations limit dichoptic hyperacuity at fine separations.
    • The neural locus for vernier acuity precision likely lies post-binocular combination.
