Attention-based Binocular Training for Impaired Stereopsis (BRAVE) (BRAVE)

31 augusti 2026 uppdaterad av: Centre for Eye and Vision Research

Binocular Recovery Through Attention-based Visual Enhancement: A Randomized Controlled Trial (BRAVE Trial)

This study evaluates a novel attention-based binocular visual search training paradigm designed to improve stereopsis (stereo vision) in individuals with impaired binocular vision. Disruptions in balanced binocular input, such as from strabismus or anisometropia, often lead to deficient stereo vision, causing daily visuomotor limitations. While traditional therapies focus on monocular acuity, they frequently fail to restore stereopsis, especially in adults. The investigators propose a unique dichoptic visual search training method that embeds binocular disparity inside an attention-demanding task, encouraging cooperative binocular integration. Participants aged 18-39 with impaired stereopsis will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the active training group (disparity-embeded task) or the active control group (identical task with zero disparity). Both groups complete 5 training sessions over 5-6 weeks. Assessments will occur at baseline, immediately post-training, and at a 12-week follow-up. The primary objective is to determine if the active training group shows significantly greater improvements in local stereoacuity compared to the control group.

Vapen och interventioner

Deltagargrupp / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Active Training Group
Participants complete a dichoptic visual search task where the search target is uniquely paired with crossed binocular disparity under balanced interocular contrast. The training consists of 5 sessions (5 blocks of 192 trials per session) over 5-6 weeks with adaptive disparity adjustment.
Beteende: Attention-Guided Dichoptic Visual Search Training
A computer-based dichoptic training paradigm in which visual stimuli are presented separately to each eye under balanced interocular contrast . Participants search for conjunction-defined targets across 5 sessions (5 blocks of 192 trials per session). The target stimulus is uniquely paired with crossed binocular disparity to provide depth-based attentional guidance, with target disparity adaptively reduced based on search performance.
Aktiv komparator: Active Control Group
Participants perform an identical computer-based dichoptic visual search task with the same geometric stimuli, trial structure (5 blocks of 192 trials per session), and interocular contrast balancing, but with zero binocular disparity.
Beteende: Zero-Disparity Dichoptic Visual Search Task
An active control dichoptic task identical in visual stimuli, trial structure (5 sessions; 5 blocks of 192 trials per session), and interocular contrast balancing to the training arm, but presented with zero binocular disparity (all stimuli appear in the same depth plane without depth cues).

Tidsram
Change in Local Stereoacuity
Tidsram: Baseline (T0) and Immediately Post-Training (T1, within 7 days after Session 5, approximately 5-6 weeks from baseline).
Measured using the Randot Stereotest - Circles test (graded disparities from 400 to 20 arcsec, 10 levels) under standardized lighting at 40 cm. The score is recorded as the finest disparity correctly identified (in log arcseconds). Nil stereopsis is assigned 3000 arcsec (3.477 log arcsec). The primary metric is the between-group difference in the change score.

The primary quantitative metric for this outcome is the total completion time (in seconds) required to successfully place all 25 grooved pegs (shorter duration indicates better motor speed and coordination). Secondary kinematic metrics extracted from video analyses include mean peg-insertion duration (seconds), inter-peg temporal variability across the 25 trials (coefficient of variation, CV), and total drop/error counts.

Higher scores indicate superior functional visual ability and quality of life. For both questionnaires, domain and composite scores are linearly transformed to a standardized 0 to 100 scale, where higher scores represent superior functional visual ability, fewer daily limitations, and better overall quality of life.
Baseline (T0), Immediately Post-Training (T1), and 12-Week Follow-Up (T2).
