Abstract:
:Factors limiting binocular fusion were studied using 2-dimensional difference of Gaussian (2D-DOG) stimuli. The proportion of fused stimuli and observer's response time were determined for stimuli that varied in spatial frequency composition between 0.22 and 4.8 cycles per degree. At small disparities, mean fusion response times were short and relatively stable but increased rapidly once the disparity reached a certain critical value. This 2-phase function implies the existence of 2 separate fusional mechanisms: a rapid neurally based fusional process, which operates at small disparities, and a second mechanism involving reflexive vergence movements operating at disparities 2 to 3 times larger. Both mechanisms are highly influenced by spatial frequency, being 4 to 5 times more effective at low spatial frequencies. Additional experiments demonstrated that with compound stimuli, the fusion limit is not determined by the highest spatial frequency components (as had been reported previously) but, rather, can take advantage of the additional fusional range associated with low spatial frequencies. Such cooperation may be obvious only in the case of 2-dimensional stimuli.
