Binocular rivalry arises when two discrepant stimuli are simultaneously presented to
different eyes, during which observers consciously experience vivid perceptual alternations …

A major, unresolved question regarding binocular rivalry remains the locus issue: Where in
the brain is the switch that makes us perceive very different images over time despite the …

Consciousness is selective in nature. At any moment, we are aware of only a fraction of the
information that saturates our senses. Attentional capacity is one major determinant of …

The prevalent view of binocular rivalry holds that it is a competition between the two eyes
mediated by reciprocal inhibition among monocular neurons. This view is largely due to the …

Two incongruent images viewed by the two eyes cause binocular rivalry, during which
observers perceive continuous alternations between these two visual images. Previous …

During binocular rivalry, physical stimulation is dissociated from conscious visual
awareness. Human brain imaging reveals a tight linkage between the neural events in …

Anatomically “early” visual areas including striate cortex (V1) are known to play a role in the
resolution of binocular rivalry. However, the time course of such activity and its relationship …

During binocular rivalry, conflicting monocular images compete for access to consciousness
in a stochastic, dynamical fashion. Recent human neuroimaging and psychophysical studies …

The neural basis of binocular rivalry has beenthe subject of vigorous debate. Do
discrepantmonocular patterns rival for awareness becauseof neural competition among …

What we experience during binocular rivalry, alternating views of two conflicting monocular
stimuli, is the final product of many steps in the visual information-processing pathway …
