Stimulus dependence of neural sites in binocular rivalry
摘要: 双眼竞争的神经位点是否随刺激特性灵活变化, 是该领域乃至意识研究的核心问题, 但长期缺乏因果验证。采用经颅直流电刺激分别干扰枕叶、右顶叶、左顶叶、前额叶, 在正交光栅与人脸/房子两类刺激下, 测量眼优势强度与感知交替速率。结果发现稳定的刺激依赖模式:特征水平刺激(光栅)竞争更多涉及枕叶(阳极刺激显著降低眼优势强度)和右顶叶(阳极降低眼优势强度, 阴极提高感知交替速率); 客体水平刺激(人脸/房子)竞争则更多涉及前额叶(阳极降低眼优势强度)和左顶叶(阳极和阴极均降低眼优势强度)。研究从因果层面证明了双眼竞争神经位点的刺激依赖性, 揭示其灵活配置机制, 将混合模型从描述性的静态多位点框架推进至预测性的灵活纳入框架。
