Study on Incongruence between Binocular Images when Gazing at the Rim of a Column with Equiluminance Random Dots

Eye Movement Measurement of Gazing at the Rim of a Column in Stereo Images with Yellow-Blue Equiluminance Random Dots

“…In a previous study, we focused on the chrominance pathways, and therefore we used an equiluminance green and red combination which we speculated that it would be processed by parvocellular cells. Our study's results suggested that the mechanism used to avoid incongruence between the retinal images of the eyes caused by occlusion occurs in the parvocellular cells (which process mainly color information) as well as in the magnocellular cells (which process binocular disparity) [14].…”

“…The conditions used for Experiment 1 are summarized in Table 1. We measured the equiluminance for each of 10 human subjects by using the same equiluminance-measuring equipment as that in our previous study [5]. To elucidate the phenomena due to only chromatic information, it is necessary to measure the equiluminance that is not influenced by the luminance information.…”

“…In this Occlusion experiment, we studied rim occlusion with a column as in our previous study [4], [5]. Figure 8 shows the five columns used.…”

“…We have studied this third type of occlusion, which is called "rim occlusion" [4], [5]. We conducted the present study to elucidate the functions of parvocellular cells and koniocellular cells in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the human brain by conducting occlusion perception experiments.…”
