Binocular cues to 3D face structure increase activation in depth-selective visual cortex with negligible effects in face-selective areas.

Journal of vision·2025

Binocular depth aftereffects are not solely based on horizontal disparity adaptation. Instead, these visual perception effects likely arise from a 3D shape-sensitive mechanism integrating multiple depth cues.

Area of Science:

  • Visual perception
  • Computational neuroscience
  • Psychophysics

Background:

  • Depth aftereffects result from prolonged visual adaptation.
  • The specific neural mechanisms underlying binocular depth aftereffects remain unclear.
  • Current theories often suggest cue-specific adaptation, like horizontal disparity-sensitive mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether binocular depth aftereffects are mediated by a cue-specific mechanism.
  • To determine if adaptation relies on horizontal disparity-sensitive neurons.
  • To explore the role of multi-cue integration in depth aftereffects.

Main Methods:

  • Experiment 1: Manipulated simulated depth using vertical disparity while keeping horizontal disparity and vergence constant.

  • Experiment 2: Adapted participants to stimuli with varying combinations of horizontal and vertical disparities.
  • Experiment 3: Controlled for perceptual equivalence of adaptation stimuli used in Experiment 1.

    • Main Results:

    • Depth aftereffects were similar whether depth was induced by vertical disparity or conventional horizontal disparity.
    • Aftereffects were minimal when adapting to stimuli with combined horizontal and vertical disparity modulations.
    • Stimuli inducing depth via vertical disparity were perceptually equivalent to those using horizontal disparity.

    Conclusions:

    • Binocular depth aftereffects are unlikely to stem from adaptation of a horizontal disparity-sensitive mechanism.
    • Evidence suggests adaptation occurs at a higher level, involving a 3D shape-sensitive mechanism integrating multiple depth cues.
    • This finding challenges cue-specific adaptation theories and supports a more integrated model of depth perception.
