Inter-ocular transfer of stimulus cueing in dominance selection at the onset of binocular rivalry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent work investigated the influence of exogenous attention on initial percept dominance at the onset of binocular rivalry. It was reported that cueing attention to one of two binocularly presented transparent stimuli immediately prior to rivalrous viewing provided the cued stimulus with a competitive advantage in subsequent binocular rivalry. This effect was independent of the eye containing the cued stimulus during the rivalry phase. In this recent work, the attention cue was always presented to both eyes. This leaves unclear the extent to which cueing affects binocular and/or monocular stimulus representations. To disambiguate this issue, we compared the cueing strength when the cue was presented ipsi-, contra- or bi-laterally with respect to the eye containing the cued stimulus during subsequent binocular rivalry. Besides replicating previous findings, we found that stimulus cueing readily transfers across eyes, suggesting that binocular mechanisms mediate exogenous attention effects on dominance selection at the onset of binocular rivalry.

Binocular Onset Rivalry at the Time of Saccades and Stimulus Jumps
Recent studies suggest that binocular rivalry at stimulus onset, so called onset rivalry, differs from rivalry during sustained viewing. These observations raise the interesting question whether there is a relation between onset rivalry and rivalry in the presence of eye movements. We therefore studied binocular rivalry when stimuli jumped from one visual hemifield to the other, either through ...
متن کاملOnset rivalry: the initial dominance phase is independent of ongoing perceptual alternations
Binocular rivalry has been used to study a wide range of visual processes, from the integration of low-level features to the selection of signals that reach awareness. However, many of these studies do not distinguish between early and late phases of rivalry. There is clear evidence that the "onset" stage of rivalry is characterized by stable, yet idiosyncratic biases that are not evident in th...
متن کاملBinocular rivalry: a time dependence of eye and stimulus contributions.
In binocular rivalry, the visual percept alternates stochastically between two dichoptically presented stimuli. It is established that both processes related to the eye of origin and binocular, stimulus-related processes account for these fluctuations in conscious perception. Here we studied how their relative contributions vary over time. We applied brief disruptions to rivalry displays, concu...
متن کاملThe role of voluntary and involuntary attention in selecting perceptual dominance during binocular rivalry.
When incompatible images are presented to corresponding regions of each eye, perception alternates between the two monocular views (binocular rivalry). In this study, we have investigated how involuntary (exogenous) and voluntary (endogenous) attention can influence the perceptual dominance of one rival image or the other during contour rivalry. Subjects viewed two orthogonal grating stimuli th...
متن کاملA fresh look at interocular grouping during binocular rivalry
During binocular rivalry, observers sometimes perceive one complete visual object even though component features of that perceptually dominant object are distributed between the two eyes and are in rivalry against other, dissimilar features. This interocular grouping cannot be explained by models of rivalry in which one eye or the other is completely dominant at any given moment. But perhaps gl...
