Occipital regions {V2 brain area} {area V2} can be for stereoscopic vision [Engel et al., 1997] [Heydt et al., 2000] [Levitt et al., 1994] [Livingstone and Hubel, 1981] [Livingstone and Hubel, 1987] [Merigan et al., 1993] [Peterhans, 1997] [Roe and Ts'o, 1997] [Thomas et al., 2002] [Tootell et al., 1998] [Wong-Riley, 1994].
Almost all area V2 neurons receive input from both eyes. Color, location, and shape have alternating area-V2 bands. Nearness and farness cells detect distance. Area V2 neurons have bigger receptive fields than neurons in area V1. V2 neurons can respond to illusory edges, hidden and seen shapes, or figure-ground differences.
output
Almost as many neurons send to area V1 from area V2 as send from V1 to V2.
