Abstract(in English) In this study, we proposed a model (binocular inhibition model) to account for the process of binocular fusion and examined its validity by means of binocular rivalry experiments. The model assumes that binocular fusion is achieved by the inhibitory effect of a binocular unit on monocular units which are the bases of double images. In the experiment, a vertical sinusoidal grating (test stimulus) was presented to the left eye and a grating, which had various sizes and orientations, was presented to the right eye and cumulative dominance durations of the test stimulus were measured. The left and the right eye's gratings were moving to the different directions. As the result, the cumulative dominance durations were shorter when the test stimulus was similar to the opposite eye's stimuli in size and orientation than when those were dissimilar. These results support our proposed model.
