双眼竞争是客观恒定的物理刺激与主观不断交替的知觉体验相分离的一种视觉生理现象。国外已有研究者将双眼竞争范式应用于精神疾病研究,国内这方面研究尚处于起步阶段。双眼竞争的测量指标可以客观反映受试者意识状态并可作为精神障碍患者特殊视觉信息识别功能的主要研究手段,这对于研究精神疾病相关症状的发生具有启示意义。
Binocular rivalry is a phenomenon that assesses the ongoing exchange of visual information from an unchanging visual stimu- lus and the subjective perception of the stimulus. Overseas researchers have used the binocular rivalry paradigm to assess mental disorders but this type of research has only just started in China. The magnitude of binocular rivalry can objectively as- sess the conscious state of subjects and, thus, be used to evaluate the processing of visual information by patients with mental disorders. It is a valuable research tool in the assessment of the development of symptoms in mental disorders.
