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

This essay reviews major developments–empirical and theoretical–in the field of binocular
vision during the last 25years. We limit our survey primarily to work on human stereopsis …

Previous research has shown implicit semantic processing of faces or pictures, but whether
symbolic carriers such as words can be processed this way remains controversial. Here we …

Our perceptual capacities are limited by attentional resources. One important question is
whether these resources are allocated separately to each sense or shared between them …

Ecological approaches to perception have demonstrated that information encoding by the
visual system is informed by the natural environment, both in terms of simple image …

We report a series of experiments utilizing the binocular rivalry paradigm designed to
investigate whether auditory semantic context modulates visual awareness. Binocular rivalry …

When the brain is presented with ambiguous visual stimuli supporting two interpretations,
perception becomes bistable and alternates over time between one interpretation and the …

Contour integration, the linking of collinear but disconnected visual elements across space,
is an essential facet of object and scene perception. Here, we set out to arbitrate between …

Many important aspects of objects and scenes are fundamentally ambiguous in the retinal
images. This ambiguity at the input stage to vision poses a fundamental challenge in …

Ambiguous stimuli can produce spontaneous perceptual alternations in the mind of the
observer, even though the stimulus itself remains the same. Common features in the …
