Abstract: It is debated whether different forms of bistable perception result from common or separate neural mechanisms. Binocular rivalry involves perceptual alternations between competing monocular images, whereas ambiguous figures such as the Necker cube lead to alternations between two possible pictorial interpretations. Previous studies have shown that observers can voluntarily control the alternation rate of both rivalry and Necker cube reversal, perhaps suggesting that bistable perception results from a common me… Show more

“…A difference between binocular and non-binocular rivalry is that dominance durations in the former are harder to modulate with selective attention, while on the other hand non-selective attention can increase the alternation rate similarly in both types of rivalry (Meng & Tong, 2004). It is fundamental for the epistemic framework we are describing that there are distinct causes in the environment, so the hyperprior that prohibits spatiotemporal co-occupancy is global: without it the system would always have to consider whether an entirely distinct cause was at the same place and time, which would not be conducive to adaptive behaviour.…”

“…Despite early claims of nearly complete voluntary control (2), recent studies show that attention has only a modest selective impact during continuous viewing of binocular rivalry. Observers who are instructed to "hold" one of the two rival targets dominant exhibit relatively little influence over the dynamics of binocular rivalry (3). Rivalry becomes more susceptible to selective modulation under conditions that promote the deployment of attention to features present in only one of the two rivalry targets (4)(5)(6)(7).…”

“…The experimentally observed differences between binocular rivalry and ambiguous figure reversal with regard to their chaotic or fractal character (Richards et al 1994;Meng and Tong 2004) can be attributed to different attention bias (memory) time constants.…”

“…Whereas binocular rivalry appears to involve a more automatic, stimulus driven form of competition (Deco and Marti 2007) and exhibits no chaotic contribution in the reversal time statistics (Richards et al 1994) (Lehky 1995), alternation rates of ambiguous figure reversal, on the other hand, show strong response to selective attention, i.e., can be voluntarily controlled by observers (Meng and Tong 2004). Moreover, by means of the correlation dimension D 2 (as another indicator of self-similarity and chaotic dynamics) from experimental reversal time series of ambiguous figures, Richards et al (1994) determined a significant deterministic contribution which was not the case for rivalry.…”
