Optimized Setup and Protocol for Magnetic Domain Imaging with In Situ Hysteresis Measurement
Published on: November 7, 2017
Summary
This study replicates stereo hysteresis research, finding that stabilized random-dot stereograms can remain fused even with significant retinal separation. Refusion occurs outside the typical Panum
Area of Science:
- Vision Science
- Perceptual Psychology
- Neuroscience
Background:
- The Fender and Julesz (1967) study investigated stereo hysteresis, the phenomenon where fused images remain fused despite changes in retinal disparity.
- Their findings established limits for retinal image separation (approx. 6 arc minutes) for successful refusion after initial fusion.
Purpose of the Study:
- To replicate the Fender and Julesz stereo hysteresis study using an alternative image stabilization technique.
- To investigate the limits of retinal image separation for maintaining fusion in random-dot stereograms.
Main Methods:
- Replication of the Fender and Julesz experiment utilizing a novel method for stabilizing monocular images.
- Presentation of random-dot stereograms to participants to assess visual fusion and refusion thresholds.
Main Results:
- Results generally support the original findings regarding the maintenance of fusion with substantial retinal image separation (up to 2 degrees).
- A key deviation was observed: refusion of stabilized stereograms occurred well beyond the classically defined Panum's fusional area.
Conclusions:
- The study confirms that stabilized random-dot stereograms can maintain fusion with greater retinal disparity than previously thought.
- The findings challenge the traditional boundaries of Panum's fusional area, suggesting greater flexibility in visual fusion mechanisms.

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomerism in Complexes
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

02:32Stereoisomers
On the basis of mirror symmetry, stereoisomers of an organic molecule can be further classified into diastereomers and enantiomers. Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other. Substituted alkenes, such as the cis and trans isomers of 2-butene, are diastereomers, as these molecules exhibit different spatial orientations of their constituent atoms, are not mirror images of each other, and do not interconvert. Here, the interconversion is suppressed due to restricted...
02:33Stereoisomerism of Cyclic Compounds
In this lesson, we delve into the role of ring conformation and its stability, which determines the spatial arrangement and, consequently, the molecular symmetry and stereoisomerism of cyclic compounds. 1,2-Dimethylcyclohexane is used as a case study to evaluate the possible number of stereoisomers. Here, given the multiple (n = 2) chiral centers, there are 2n = 4 possible configurations that lack a plane of symmetry, as the ring skeleton exists in a non-planar chair conformation. In addition,...
01:31Oscillations In An LC Circuit
An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. In such an LC circuit, if the capacitor contains a charge q before the switch is closed, then all the energy of the circuit is initially stored in the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is given by
01:20Inverting and Non-inverting OpAmps
In an inverting amplifier, the input voltage is connected through a resistor to the inverting terminal. Meanwhile, the non-inverting terminal is grounded and a feedback resistor is established between the inverting and output terminal, as depicted in Figure 1.
01:16Cascaded Op Amps
Operational amplifiers (op-amps) are versatile electronic components that can be interconnected in a cascade - one after another in a linear sequence. This cascading is possible due to their infinite input resistance and zero output resistance, allowing them to maintain their input-output relationships even when connected in series.
In a cascaded system, each op-amp is referred to as a stage. The output of one stage drives the input of the subsequent stage. As the input signal passes through...
