In Amblyomaze, which combination describes which eye sees the maze and which sees the light?

• A. The eye wearing green sees the maze and the eye wearing red sees the light.
• B. The eye wearing red sees the maze and the eye wearing green sees the light.
• C. Both eyes see the maze.
• D. The maze and the light are presented to the same eye.

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that Amblyomaze uses a dichoptic-like setup to isolate what each eye receives, so we can see how the eyes work together (or don’t) in amblyopia. In this test, the maze image and the light cue are shown to the same eye. This arrangement prevents interocular competition or cues from the other eye, making it possible to assess how well that particular eye can engage with the task without conflicting input from the fellow eye. If the stimuli were split between eyes or shown to both eyes, it could blur the assessment of suppression and eye performance. Presenting the maze to one eye while the other eye sees something different would introduce rivalry and complicate interpretation, and having both eyes see the maze would not reveal any interocular suppression. Thus, delivering both the maze and the light to the same eye is the setup that aligns with how Amblyomaze isolates the tested eye's contribution.
