Binocular viewing improves several aspects of visual detection compared to viewing with one eye alone, in a process known as binocular summation. A striking example of this perceptual binocular enhancement is how binocular viewing enables the detection of lower contrasts compared to monocular viewing. However, the neuronal substrate of such improved binocular contrast detection in the visual system has so far been poorly understood. The majority of binocular interactions are thought to occur in binocular neurons of the visual cortex. Earlier parts of the image-forming visual pathway have been
