Abstract: When staring into empty space, the eyes involuntarily converge on a point of 鈥渞esting focus鈥 (RF). The location of this point varies across people and my affect the ability to perceive random-dot stereogram illusions that require an observer to 鈥渞elax their eyes鈥 and converge at a point that doesn鈥檛 lie on the plane of the viewed surface. We hypothesized that the RF point would predict the nature of a stereogram illusion (鈥減op-in鈥 or 鈥減op-out鈥).1000 character maximum
