Béla Julesz (February 19, 1928–December 31, 2003) was a visual neuroscientist and experimental psychologist in the fields of visual and auditory perception.
Julesz was the originator of random dot stereograms which led to the creation of autostereograms. He also was the first to study texture discrimination by constraining second-order statistics.

Julesz was the originator of random dot stereograms which led to the creation of autostereograms. He also was the first to study texture discrimination by constraining second-order statistics.
Béla Julesz was born in Budapest, Hungary, on February 19, 1928. He immigrated to the United States with his wife Margit after receiving his Ph.D. from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1956.
In 1956, Julesz joined the renowned Bell Laboratories, where he headed the Sensory and Perceptual Processes Department (1964-1982), then the Visual Perception Research Department (1983-1989). Much of his research focused on physiological psychology topics including depth perception and pattern recognition within the visual system.
In 1959, Julesz created the random-dot stereogram using pairs of random dot patterns that were identical except for...
