The findings were striking and tracked with clinical measures of autism: participants with a higher level of autism had a slower rate of binocular rivalry, where the brain was slower in switching from one image to the next.
Originally this was demonstrated using binocular rivalry as an index of ocular dominance [10] and later shown using fusible stimuli, by determining the relative left/right eye contribution to the binocularly fused percept [12, 22].
The recent report that exercise enhances this plasticity effect when assessed with binocular rivalry [27] is not generalized to the use of fusible stimuli used in the present study.
It was interesting that this equal visibility of the images in both eyes in our task resembled the condition as in the course of binocular rivalry that caused the amblyopia in the first place.
Binocular rivalry has been shown to produce a characteristic counter-phase pattern in the signal from the two eyes.
A primer on binocular rivalry, including current controversies.
Differences between binocular rivalry and ambiguous figures.
stimuli influences the dominant time of binocular rivalry. The first peak of the dominance duration curve (3,5 s - 4,5
Note that this procedure overcomes the problems associated with sighting-dominance estimates and provides a more objective measure than those based on binocular rivalry.
Hence a potential fault will lead to binocular rivalry and make the fault conspicuous.
A recent study has shown that following 2.5 hours of monocular deprivation GABA concentration (measured by means of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 7-Tesla) drops in the adult primary visual cortex and across subjects the decrease in GABA levels highly correlates with the boost of deprived eye during binocular rivalry [4].
Binocular rivalry refers to the phenomenon that when the right and left eye are presented with different stimuli, no stable perception can be formed so there are alternating perceptions.
They demonstrated that slow pupil oscillation amplitude increased after monocular deprivation, with larger changes correlated with larger ocular dominance changes measured by binocular rivalry. Their findings suggest that there might be a common mechanism shared by the slow pupil oscillation and ocular balance.
Binocular rivalry is thought to provide a particularly useful means for studying how sensory processing gives rise to eye dominance because it involves a changing percept without any change in the visual stimulus.
