Abstract

I began my career in vision as a graduate student in psychology (1929–1932) under William McDougall, who introduced me to the problems of binocular fusion and rivalry. In learning to paint, I had already encountered the problems of stereopsis and space perception. In my home was a stereoscope and a set of cards. Just a few years before in 1924, Southall had completed the translation of von Helmholtz’s (1924) A Treatise on Physiological Optics. The volumes of the Treatise were high on my reading list.
