It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Cyclopean stimuli. (Discuss) Proposed since August 2009. |
Cyclopean image is a single mental image of a scene created by the brain by combining two images received from the two eyes. The mental process behind construction of the Cyclopean image is crucial to stereo vision. Autostereograms take advantage of this process to trick the brain into forming an apparent Cyclopean image from seemingly random patterns.
Cyclopean image is named after the mythical Cyclops with a single eye.
