When Uka and DeAngelis microstimulated disparity-selective neurons in a monkey, the monkey made a behavioral depth response based on the _____.
A) angle of disparity on the retina
B) tuning curve of the stimulated neurons
C) orientation of the stimulus
D) location of the horopter

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question states that Uka and DeAngelis microstimulated disparity-selective neurons in a monkey. This means that they specifically targeted neurons that are sensitive to differences in the location of the same visual stimulus presented to the two eyes, which is known as binocular disparity. The monkey's resulting behavioral depth response would therefore be based on the tuning curve of the stimulated neurons, as this determines which specific disparities the neurons respond best to. The angle of disparity on the retina, orientation of the stimulus, and location of the horopter are not mentioned as factors affecting the monkey's response in this study.
