Binocular Rivalry

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University Why do people have two forward-facing eyes? By presenting the brain with two ever so slightly different images it becomes possible to comprehend visual problems that are far more difficult to process through a single eye. Chief among these is the problem of 3-D perception, seeing the world in three dimensions, despite retinal inputs in only two dimensions. What happens if each eye receives two completely different images? That...

Binocular rivalry occurs when the eyes are presented with different images at the same location: one image dominates while the other is suppressed, and dominance alternates periodically. Rivalry is useful for investigating perceptual selection and visual awareness. Here we describe several easy methods for creating and using binocular rivalry stimuli.

Here we present a comprehensive battery of tasks to assess binocular vision. Tasks include peripheral stereoacuity and motion-in-depth, which are not assessed by current clinical tests. Incorporating these tasks will provide an in-depth assessment of an individual’s binocularity.

The binocular wavefront optometer agrees well with traditional refraction techniques in both objective and subjective refraction measurements, offering superior accuracy and clinical utility. Its standardized protocol reduces optometrist workload and provides a more accurate refractive assessment for post-refractive surgery individuals.

Nuclear Fusion

The process of converting very light nuclei into heavier nuclei is also accompanied by the conversion of mass into large amounts of energy, a process called fusion. The principal source of energy in the sun is a net fusion reaction in which four hydrogen nuclei fuse and ultimately produce one helium nucleus and two positrons. A helium nucleus has a mass that is 0.7% less than that of four hydrogen nuclei; this lost mass is converted into energy during the fusion. This reaction produces about...
FAQs
Binocular disparity provides the error signal created by differences between the two retinal images. Coordinated vergence movements then rotate the eyes inward or outward, depending on the direction of the mismatch. Reducing disparity improves correspondence between retinal features, allowing neural circuits to support a stable single percept rather than competing images.
Retinal feature correspondence links related visual information from the two eyes. Neural circuits use this relationship alongside disparity signals to determine whether the images can be combined coherently. When correspondence is maintained, eye movements can reduce image mismatch more effectively, supporting a stable scene and helping behavioral studies examine how visual information is integrated.
Changes in viewing conditions can require the visual system to adapt its coordination of disparity processing and vergence. The relevant adjustment is not limited to a single eye movement; it also involves neural maintenance of correspondence between retinal features. Studying these changes helps researchers examine how binocular vision remains organized when visual input varies.
Measurement can reveal how effectively the eyes coordinate their movements while the visual system manages image mismatch. Such assessments provide information about vergence behavior, retinal feature correspondence, and the stability of the resulting visual percept. In behavioral research, these measures help characterize individual differences in binocular vision and support assessment of binocular vision disorders.
The process connects binocular image alignment with broader behavioral functions. Signals from the two eyes contribute to the visual system’s interpretation of depth, while maintaining a single stable scene provides an organized basis for directing visual attention. Researchers therefore use fusion adjustment as a framework for examining how eye coordination supports these aspects of behavior.
Abnormalities in fusion adjustment may indicate difficulties with eye coordination or with maintaining correspondence between the two retinal images. Measuring the process can therefore complement behavioral assessment of binocular vision disorders. These observations help distinguish problems involving vergence control from broader questions about how disparity and neural integration contribute to stable visual perception.
