Béla Julesz (1928–2003) was a visual neuroscientist and experimental psychologist in the fields of visual and auditory perception.
In April 1965, Howard Wise put on a show of computer art by me and a colleague, Béla Julesz, who was doing 3D stereograms. Some people say it was one of the earliest exhibits of digital art in the United States.

The story I've heard is that Scientific American did an article about Bela Julesz's random stereograms and put them on the cover. And Howard saw that and immediately recognized them not as something to use for scientific investigations of 3D vision, but they're artistic.
