Panum's limiting case is a phenomenon of monocular occlusion in binocular vision. This occurs when one object is occluded by the other object for one eye, but the two objects are both visible for the other eye. Although previous studies have found that vertical gradient of horizontal disparity and cue conflict are two important factors for double fusion, the effect of training on the sensitivity and stability of Panum's limiting case remains unknown. The current study trained 26 participants for 5 days with several of Panum's configurations (Gilliam, Frisby, and Wang series). The latency and duration of double fusion were recorded to examine the effects of training on sensitivity and stability of double fusion in Panum's limiting case. For each level of vertical gradient of horizontal disparity and cue conflict, the latency of double fusion decreased and the duration of double fusion increased with each additional training session. The results showed that vertical gradient of horizontal disparity and cue conflict interacted, and the duration of high cue conflict was significantly shorter than that of medium and low cue conflict for each level of vertical gradient of horizontal disparity. The findings suggest that there is an effect of training for vertical gradient of horizontal disparity and cue conflict in Panum's limiting case, and that the three factors jointly affect the sensitivity and stability of double fusion.
潘努姆限制区是双眼视觉中单眼遮蔽的现象。当一只眼睛被另一只眼睛中的物体遮挡时,但另一只眼睛同时能看到两个物体,就会出现这种情况。尽管先前的研究发现垂直水平视差梯度和线索冲突是双眼融合的两个重要因素,但训练对视差融合的敏感性和稳定性的影响仍不清楚。本研究对 26 名参与者进行了为期 5 天的训练,采用了几种潘努姆配置(Gilliam、Frisby 和 Wang 系列)。记录双眼融合的潜伏期和持续时间,以检验训练对视差融合的敏感性和稳定性的影响。对于每个水平的垂直水平视差梯度和线索冲突,随着每次额外的训练,双眼融合的潜伏期缩短,持续时间延长。结果表明,垂直水平视差梯度和线索冲突相互作用,对于每个水平的垂直水平视差梯度,高线索冲突的持续时间明显短于中低线索冲突。研究结果表明,在潘努姆限制区中存在水平视差梯度和线索冲突的训练效应,并且这三个因素共同影响双眼融合的敏感性和稳定性。
