Abstract

Despite dynamical retinal image changes caused by pursuit eye movements, we usually perceive the stable spatial properties of the environment suite successfully Helmholtz and his followers have suggested that the visual system coordinates the retinal and extraretinal eye position information to represent the spatial properties of the environment. However. there have been a significant amount of researches showing that this kind of mechanism may not operate perfectly, and the pursuit eye movement employed in those researches were limited to conjugate eye movements. When an observer tracks an object moving away from the observer with his/her eyes. the two eyes rotate in opposite direction. and this kind of disjunctive eye movement may produce undesirable binocular disparities for the objects in the background. The present study examined whether the visual system compensated for the undesirable binocular disparities caused by disjunctive eye movements with extraretinal eye position information. Although the target object was presented frontoparellely to the subjects. the subjects reported that the object was slanted toward (or alway from) them in consistent with the undesirable binocular disparities produced by the disjunctive eye movements. These results imply that the visual system may not perfectly compensate for the undesirable binocular disparities with extraretinal eye position information.

추적 눈 운동에 의해 망막에서의 상이 역동적으로 변화함에도 불구하고 우리는 외부세계의 공간속성을 대부분 안정적으로 지각한다. Helmholtz를 비롯한 많은 연구자들은 우리의 시각체계가 망막에서의 상의 움직임과 눈 운동정보를 동시에 고려하여 외부세계의 공간속성을 지각한다고 믿어 왔다. Helmholtz가 제안한 체계가 완벽하게 작용하지 않음을 나타내는 증거들을 여러 연구들이 제시하여 왔지만, 대부분의 연구는 두 눈이 같은 방향으로 움직이는 상황에 국한되었다. 본 연구는 관찰자로부터 멀어지거나 가까워지는 대상을 두 눈으로 추적하는 경우에서처럼 두 눈이 각기 반대 방향으로 움직이는 상황에 의해 유발되는 양안부등이 시각체계에 의해 교정되는지를 검증하였으며, 피험자들은 반향 눈 운동 동안에 시공간적인 중침패턴에 의해 정의되는 대상의 경사를 2AFC과제를 이용하여 보고하였다. 실제 제시되는 대상이 피험자와 평행하게 경사 없이 놓여 있음에도 불구하고 반향 눈 운동에 의해 망막에 생성되는 양안부등과 일치하는 방향으로 피험자들은 대상의 경사를 왜곡하여 지각하였다. 이러한 실험결과는 우리의 시각체계가 반향 눈 운동에 의해 유발되는 양안부등을 적절히 교정하지 못함을 의미한다.
