It has been fifty years since Levelt's monograph On Binocular Rivalry (1965) was published,
but its four propositions that describe the relation between stimulus strength and the …

During observation of ambiguous figures our perception reverses spontaneously although
the visual information stays unchanged. Research on this phenomenon so far suffered from …

Rivalry is a common tool to probe visual awareness: a constant physical stimulus evokes
multiple, distinct perceptual interpretations (“percepts”) that alternate over time. Percepts are …

In bistable vision, subjective perception wavers between two interpretations of a constant
ambiguous stimulus. This dissociation between conscious perception and sensory …

The neural mechanisms underlying attentional selection of competing neural signals for
awareness remains an unresolved issue. We studied attentional selection, using …

In the search for the neural correlates of consciousness, it has remained controversial
whether prefrontal cortex determines what is consciously experienced or, alternatively …

When viewing a different stimulus with each eye, we experience the remarkable
phenomenon of binocular rivalry: alternations in consciousness between the stimuli [1, 2] …

Binocular rivalry is a phenomenon that occurs when a different image is presented to each
eye. The observer generally perceives just one image at a time, with perceptual switches …

Experience-driven neuronal plasticity allows the brain to adapt its functional connectivity to
recent sensory input. Here we use binocular rivalry [1], an experimental paradigm in which …

When the sensory system is subjected to ambiguous input, perception alternates between
interpretations in a seemingly random fashion. Although neuronal noise obviously plays a …
