re: stereovision question

>I'm curious how stereo vision is done in the brain.

Being neither a scientist nor psychologist, I'll throw in my $0.02 anyway :-)

I don't believe stereo perception requires two eyes. All it requires is 
one eye receiving disparate images. As I mentioned a year or so ago, I 
trained myself to view lenticular images *stereoscopically* by rotating 
the lenticular print in front of a single eye. Anyone can perform this 
experiment. I used an Imagetech demo print that had an unusual amount of 
depth, including a bubble extending past the "window."

Perhaps one of the experts on the list could explain why this works, i.e. 
how the brain in processing this information.
