Binocular rivalry and visual awareness.
نویسنده
چکیده
Physiological studies of binocular rivalry have provided important clues to the relationship between neural activity in the brain and visual awareness. However, uncertainty about these insights has been raised by a recent study showing that the events underlying binocular rivalry occur earlier in the visual pathway than was previously thought.

A Primer on Binocular Rivalry, Including Current Controversies
Among psychologists and vision scientists, binocular rivalry has enjoyed sustained interest for decades dating back to the 19th century. In recent years, however, rivalry’s audience has expanded to include neuroscientists who envision rivalry as a “tool” for exploring the neural concomitants of conscious visual awareness and perceptual organization. For rivalry’s potential to be realized, worke...
متن کاملEye dominance alternations in binocular rivalry do not require visual awareness.
Binocular rivalry provides a valuable means to study how sensory processing gives rise to subjective experiences because it involves a changing percept without any change in the visual stimulus. An important question, however, is whether visual awareness is necessary for binocular rivalry to emerge. To address this question, we presented conflicting random dot motion stimuli in the two eyes at ...
متن کاملWhich image is in awareness during binocular rivalry? Reading perceptual status from eye movements.
Binocular rivalry is a useful psychophysical tool to investigate neural correlates of visual consciousness because the alternation between awareness of the left and right eye images occurs without any accompanying change in visual input. The conventional experiments on binocular rivalry require participants to voluntarily report their perceptual state. Obtaining reliable reports from non-human ...
متن کاملRival ideas about binocular rivalry
Binocular rivalry has been used to investigate neural correlates of visual awareness. For this investigation to succeed, however, it is necessary to know what rivals during binocular rivalry. Recent work has raised questions about whether rivalry is between eyes or between stimuli. We find that stimulus rivalry occurs only within a limited range of spatial and temporal parameters--otherwise eye...
متن کاملThe Role of Temporally Coarse Form Processing during Binocular Rivalry
Presenting the eyes with spatially mismatched images causes a phenomenon known as binocular rivalry-a fluctuation of awareness whereby each eye's image alternately determines perception. Binocular rivalry is used to study interocular conflict resolution and the formation of conscious awareness from retinal images. Although the spatial determinants of rivalry have been well-characterized, the te...
