Depth-specific response of a single point location in the visual cortex of a human participant. Binocular depth (top left) presented by a stereo pair (top right) and varied slowly over time. When the depth signal is strong for this cortical location, the blood flow to the cortex responds (black traces, bottom) and the adaptive model (red trace) finds an event in the Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) response.
