Binocular Rivalry Terminated

Le résumé fourni par la source

Scientists reportedly had been reporting that indefinite stable termination of stable binocular rivalry (BR) is impossible; namely, the frequency of the rivalry must follow the gamma distribution. This is a manifestation of binocular rivalry data (Levelt, 1965; Fox & Herrmann, 1967; Logothetis, 1998); a signature that is used to discover the neural substrates of binocular rivalry. In this report, however, against the common agreement of the statistical representation of the BR data that includes but not limited the effect of voluntary action on binocular rivalry (see Blake, etal. 2007); we provide several exhibits that reveal indefinite stoppage against binocular rivalry; and thus, the literature of binocular competition should be revisited. We superficially principlize ‘the hidden dynamics’ behind these phenomenal terminations, and this should shed the light on the importance of Dönner, 2008, 2013 articles. It also casts attention on the essence of Walker, 1998 article, where binocular cross-orientation suppression is not found in the striate cortex, but prior the conversion of the two monocular streams. Since no retinal studies are established in binocular rivalry experiments, we therefore believe that the governors of the perceptual rivalry cannot be concluded. But since the results of our psychophysical experiments disobey the statistical representation of the BR data; we suggest that the rivalry could not happen without an extra physical layer as an affirming playground to these hidden dynamics ‘the governors of the perceptual rivalry’. We end this statement by offering applications that shall benefit medicine and engineering through the utilization of that phenomenal stoppage.
