A forced-choice experiment is reported, the results of which demonstrate that the cyclopean analogues of the Hermann grid, the embedded squares, and Mach bands can be readily observed. It is concluded that the earlier failure by Brookes and Stevens to observe these cyclopean analogues does not prove that spatial filtering of horizontal disparity is fundamentally different from the spatial filtering of the luminance image.
