Binocular rivalry is a phenomenon of visual perception in which perception alternates between different images presented to each eye. [1] An image demonstrating binocular rivalry. If one views the image with red-cyan 3D glasses, the text will alternate between red and blue. 3D red cyan glasses are recommended to view this image correctly.
Neural adaptation can affect the relative strength of the visual stimuli and can affect perceptual suppression in events such as binocular rivalry. Several research have shown that manipulating neural adaption can allow one to control perceptual dominance during binocular rivalry; rivalry dominance durations are longer in situations where ...
Binocular neurons in the dorsal and ventral pathways combine to create depth perception, however, the two pathways perform differ in the type of stereo computation they perform. [7] The dorsal pathway generally performs a cross-correlation based upon the region of the different retinal images, while the ventral pathway fixes the multiple ...
The mechanism can be explained by some combination of probability summation, neural summation, and effects due to binocular-monocular differences in pupil size, accommodation, fixation, and rivalry. Probability summation comes from the principle that there is a greater chance of detecting a visual stimulus with two eyes than with one eye.
It can erase an image presented at the fovea (which usually is much more resistant to perceptual suppression, unlike, for example, crowding), in every trial (unlike binocular rivalry), for a longer duration (>1 sec, unlike backward masking), with an excellent control of timing (unlike binocular rivalry). It has been widely exploited to tackle ...
While binocular rivalry has been studied since the 16th century, the study of multistable auditory perception is relatively new. [3] Diana Deutsch was the first to discover multistability in human auditory perception, in the form of auditory illusions involving periodically oscillating tones.
Neurophysiological studies in animals provided some insights on the neural correlates of conscious behavior. Vernon Mountcastle, in the early 1960s, set up to study this set of problems, which he termed "the Mind/Brain problem", by studying the neural basis of perception in the somatic sensory system. His labs at Johns Hopkins were among the ...
This established the neural basis for stereopsis. Their findings were disputed by David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel, although they eventually conceded when they found similar neurons in the monkey visual cortex. [39] In the 1980s, Gian Poggio and others found neurons in V2 of the monkey brain that responded to the depth of random-dot stereograms. [40]
