In the human visual system, cerebral cortex combines left- and right-eye retinal inputs, enabling single, comfortable binocular vision. In visual cortex, the signals from each eye inhibit one another (interocular suppression). While this mechanism may be disrupted by e.g. traumatic brain injury, clinical assessments of interocular suppression are subjective, qualitative, and lack reliability. EEG is a potentially useful clinical tool for objective, quantitative assessment of binocular vision. In a cohort of normal participants, we measured occipital, visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in response to dichoptically-presented vertical and/or horizontal sine-wave gratings. Response amplitudes to orthogonal gratings were greater than that of parallel gratings, which were in turn greater than that of monocular gratings. Our results indicate that interocular suppression is (normally) balanced, orientation-tuned, and that suppression per se is reduced for orthogonal gratings. This objective measure of suppression may have application in clinical settings.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
