Binocular Rivalry: Neurons Unwire When They Can't Simultaneously Fire
Binocular rivalry, where very different monocular images appear to alternate, changes its perceptual characteristics over time. New evidence suggests that this results from synaptic weakening or decoupling of neurons that are prevented from firing together.
متن کاملWhen can attention influence binocular rivalry?
Attentional influence over perception is particularly pronounced when sensory stimulation is ambiguous, where attention can reduce stimulus uncertainty and promote a stable interpretation of the world. However, binocular rivalry, an extensively studied visual ambiguity, has proved to be comparatively resistant to attentional modulation. We hypothesize that this apparent inconsistency reflects f...
متن کاملBinocular Rivalry
When two different images are shown, one to each eye, we don't always see a mix of the two. In cases when the images differ in atleast one attribute we may see only one image at a time and this alternates between the two images. (eg: Horizontal and vertical gratings differ in the direction of grating. When horizontal grating is shown to say right eye and vertical grating to left eye we see only...
متن کاملBinocular rivalry
What is binocular rivalry? In humans and animals with forward facing eyes, the two eyes provide views of the world that are only subtly different from one another. In each eye, the lens focuses light into a two-dimensional image on the retina. In normal vision, the disparity between the retinal images provides a stereoscopic cue to the third spatial dimension, depth. But when the eyes are prese...
متن کاملWhen crowding meets binocular rivalry: Challenges for object perception
Both crowding and binocular rivalry impair object perception, but their influence on object perception has so far only been investigated in separate fields. Three experiments investigated the joint influences of crowding and rivalry on object perception (orientation discrimination). Experiment 1 investigated how crowding and rivalry influence orientation discrimination together. Experiment 2 te...
