Contrary to common wisdom, fixations are a dynamically rich behavior, composed of
continual, miniature eye movements, of which microsaccades are the most salient …

During binocular rivalry, conflicting monocular images compete for access to consciousness
in a stochastic, dynamical fashion. Recent human neuroimaging and psychophysical studies …

When a stimulus supports two distinct interpretations, perception alternates in an irregular
manner between them. What causes the bistable perceptual switches remains an open …

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

Existing neural explanations of spontaneous percept switching under steady viewing of an
ambiguous stimulus do not fit the fact that stimulus interruptions cause the same percept to …

Individual differences in the structure of parietal and prefrontal cortex predict the stability of
bistable visual perception. However, the mechanisms linking such individual differences in …

This is a survey of psychophysical studies of motion perception carried out mainly in the last
10 years. It covers a wide range of topics, including the detection and interactions of local …

Stochastic dynamics and critical slowing down were studied experimentally and numerically
near the onset of dynamical bistability in visual perception under the influence of noise …

The brain combines visual information from the two eyes and forms a coherent percept, even
when inputs to the eyes are different. However, it is not clear how inputs from the two eyes …

During prolonged observation of an ambiguous figure sudden perceptual reversals occur,
while the stimulus itself stays unchanged. There is a vivid debate about whether bottom-up …
