Binocular and monocular vision are both important but, what about skill visual tasks? , which one is more important? In this experiment we tried to test the importance of binocular information and we hypothesized that there would be a binocular benefit, like in Read’s experiment (.Jenny C. A. Read, Shah Farzana Begum, Alice McDonald, Jack Trowbridge, 2013).A Buzz-wire test was used; the participants had to drive a loop through a wire-track that produced a buzz- noise that was marked down by the experimenters as an error. Furthermore, after understanding that many sensory processes differ between males and females and being enforced by biological findings and the developmental hunter- gatherer theory, we decide to search simultaneously for any sex differences. Unfortunately we did not find in any of our tests any statistically significant difference.
INTRODUCTION
Humans like other predators have a frontal eye layer. Their eyes have averagely 6,5mm distance, which allows them to use both monocular and binocular cues in their perception of the external environment .Monocular cues like size, perspective, occlusion, accommodation and depth of motion is the reason why ,even with only one eye opened, we still have the perception of depth. However, with the use of both eyes we experience a more detailed perception of depth, as the brain receives two visual outputs with slight ly different discrepancies for the same object that converge into one ,giving us the vivid sense of
