Abstract :
A neural-net robotic optical circuit that generates a 3D-visual sensation and is based on Wheatstone\´s stereoscope may be obtained by reverse engineering the neurophysiology (central connections) associated with the modalities of the retinal receptors. The optical circuit, called the Neuronal Correlate of a Modality (NCM)-circuit may be used to solve the inverse optics problem for visual "seeing." The NCM-circuit converts two 2-dimensional camera images into a single 3-dimensional sensation of an image that is a high fidelity representation of the objects that gave rise to the two images. In addition the NCM-circuit may be used to solve the neuro-biological visual binding and recombination problem and shed light on the neurophysiological function of the LGN and striate cortex.
