Subjective Image Quality in Stereoscopic Image Modifications
An observational study of Stereoscopic Vision, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.
Trial summary
Humans attain binocular vision from the two retinal images of both eyes through a series of sensory and motor processes that culminate in the perception of stereoscopic depth. Looking at a scene creates two slightly different images on the retinas which is due to the eyes' different positions on the head. Read more about this study

About this study
Humans attain binocular vision from the two retinal images of both eyes through a series of sensory and motor processes that culminate in the perception of stereoscopic depth. Looking at a scene creates two slightly different images on the retinas which is due to the eyes' different positions on the head. This so called binocular disparity provides information to calculate depth and therefore enables stereopsis. Physiologically the two retinal images are superimposed and merge into one stereoscopic image.
If one image is presented to one eye in an experimental setting, and a completely different image is presented to the other eye, the investigators visual system, analogous to diplopic vision, is not able to fuse these image stimuli. Instead, a phenomenon called binocular rivalry occurs. Here, both images are seen alternating and the brain can switch back and forth between these images.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of objective changes to image quality on the investigators subjective stereoscopic perception. This psychophysiological testing is done by looking at different images and thereafter by subjective grading of the image quality.
The investigators hypothesize that overlapping image modifications occurring in both eyes are detected immediately, but changes, that are rotated by 90 degrees against each other, should be suppressed and result in one stereoscopic image, reduced in image quality. Whether this also accounts for more detailed images, such as reading cards, is questionable.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Humans attain binocular vision from the two retinal images of both eyes through a series of sensory and motor processes that culminate in the perception of stereoscopic depth. Looking at a scene creates two slightly different images on the retinas which is due to the eyes' different positions on the head. This so called binocular disparity provides information to calculate depth and therefore enables stereopsis. Physiologically the two retinal images are superimposed and merge into one stereoscopic image.
If one image is presented to one eye in an experimental setting, and a completely different image is presented to the other eye, the investigators visual system, analogous to diplopic vision, is not able to fuse these image stimuli.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2012.
