“…In addition to timing differences, the patterns of results obtained in dichoptic adaptation and short-term monocular deprivation paradigms may reflect differences in intrinsic properties or cortico-cortical interactions amongst neurons that favor either the pooling or re-balancing of binocular inputs. Emerging virtual and augmented reality-based techniques [5,13] may soon enrich our understanding of how the adult visual system, in concert with other brain systems, maintains an ability to change under natural viewing situations.…”

“…Perceptual Effects Eye dominance, also sometimes termed ocular dominance, refers to the extent to which one eye is favored over the other during a binocular task. A spate of recent work has reported robust, temporary modifications of eye dominance in adult humans with typical binocular vision following a few hours of altered experience [4,[7][8][9]11,13]. To examine eye-dominance plasticity, adult participants undergo monocular deprivation for periods ranging from 2-3 hours, while the undeprived eye receives natural visual input ( Figure 2B).…”

“…Recent work that explored more exotic forms of interocular manipulation, such as monocular phase scrambling (without contrast reduction) [13], and studies that isolated sensory eye dominance changes associated with isoluminant patterns [4,8], suggest that first-order contrast adaptation is not sufficient to account for temporary eye dominance changes. Indeed, the binocular rivalry paradigm itself is known to be affected by many properties of visual stimuli beyond their contrast and is often used to study visual phenomena thought to be mediated by later-stage visual processing.…”

“…From this historical perspective, current trends in research showing robust experience-dependent changes to binocular perception in adult humans are unexpected [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. But despite the dogma of the 'critical period' for plasticity in early life, both long-standing and recent research have revealed that the visual system has a range of different forms of plasticity, many of which are maintained throughout the lifespan.…”

Plasticity and Adaptation in Adult Binocular Vision

Understanding the relationship between changes in sensory perception and functional/structural changes in the brain is a major endeavor in the field of systems neuroscience. Progress in this area holds the potential to reveal how the brain adapts to the demands of a complex and changing environment, as well as to assist with the development of therapeutic interventions to reverse the negative effects of abnormal experience. The cells and circuits that make up the mammalian visual system provide a unique scientific test-bed for studying brain plasticity, thanks to the rich literature on their basic organization and similarity across a range of species. In this minireview, we highlight recent advances in the study of plasticity in adult binocular vision, emphasizing the importance of considering changes that occur over different timescales. We discuss key new insights, significant open questions, and how this research is leading to a broader understanding of the ways that the adult brain maintains a robust ability for adaptation and change.

“…It is possible that the use of a fusion rather than a rivalry task is responsible for the failure to replicate the previous effect. Recent studies have demonstrated that different effects of monocular deprivation may be found depending on the psychophysical task used to measure them (Bai et al, 2017;Baldwin and Hess, 2018). The binocular fusion task used by Zhou et al (2017) involves two grating stimuli of the same orientation and spatial frequency, but slightly different spatial phase.…”

Visual plasticity and exercise revisited: no evidence for a “cycling lane”

Experiments using enriched environments have shown that physical exercise modulates visual plasticity in rodents. A recent study (Lunghi & Sale, 2015, doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2015.026) investigated whether exercise also affects visual plasticity in adult humans. The plastic effect they measured was the shift in ocular dominance caused by 2 hours of monocular deprivation (e.g. by an eye patch). They used a binocular rivalry task to measure this shift. They found that the magnitude of the shift was increased by exercise during the deprivation period. This effect of exercise was later disputed by a study that used a different behavioural task (Zhou et al., 2017(Zhou et al., , doi: 10.1155(Zhou et al., /2017. Our goal was to determine whether the difference in task was responsible for that study's failure to find an exercise effect. We set out to replicate Lunghi & Sale (2015). We measured ocular dominance with a rivalry task before and after 2 hours of deprivation. We measured data from two conditions in 30 subjects. On two separate days they either performed exercise or rested during the deprivation period. Contrary to the previous study, we find no significant effect of exercise. We hypothesise that exercise may affect rivalry dynamics in a way that interacts with the measurement of the deprivation effect.

We see the world with two eyes. Binocular vision provides more ample information through interocular interaction. Previous studies have shown that aging impairs a variety of visual functions, but how aging affects binocular vision is still unclear. In this study, we measured three typical binocular functions-binocular combination, binocular rivalry, and stereo vision-to investigate aging-related effects on binocular vision in a relatively large sample (48 younger adults and 27 older adults) with normal or corrected-to-normal distance vision and no ophthalmological and mental diseases. We found that there were no consistent aging-related declines in binocular vision, with the worst effect on alternation frequency in binocular rivalry and no effect on binocular phase combination and stereo vision tested by Titmus. In addition, aging changed the correlation pattern among some of these binocular functions. These results reflected (at least partially) different aging-related mechanism(s) in binocular vision.
