Human perception of intermediately-fusible visual stimuli
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Our eyes each have their own view of the world, but we perceive a single field of vision. Differing features are either combined into an intermediate percept, or one is completely suppressed in favor of the other. The former is known as binocular fusion while the lat-ter leads to binocular rivalry, where perception switches dynamically from one eye to another if highly-divergent inputs are maintained over time. Both phenomena have gar-nered great interest from investigators seeking to understand how sensory signals are in-tegrated and become percepts, but they have generally been studied separately and con-sidered mutually exclusive processes. Rather than using only very-different or very-similar binocular inputs to specifically elicit rivalry or fusion, I have parametrically var-ied the amount of mismatch between each eye's view to explore the relationship between these processes. My results show that some static stimuli can result in both fusion and rivalry over time. I have also measured the hysteresis in perceptual states when monocu-lar stimuli are rotated together or apart over time. I will present these findings and discuss their implications for models of binocular vision hoping to capture the perceptual dynam-ics observed
