Intrinsic brain dynamics in the Default Mode Network predict involuntary fluctuations of visual awareness

D Lyu, S Naik, DK Menon, EA Stamatakis - Nature Communications, 2022 - nature.com
Brain activity is intrinsically organised into spatiotemporal patterns, but it is still not clear
whether these intrinsic patterns are functional or epiphenomenal. Using a simultaneous …

Slower and less variable binocular rivalry rates in patients with bipolar disorder, OCD, major depression, and schizophrenia

X Ye, RL Zhu, XQ Zhou, S He, K Wang - Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 - frontiersin.org
When two different images are presented to the two eyes dichoptically, observers usually
experience a perceptual alternation between the two images. This phenomenon, known as …

Visual imagination can influence visual perception–towards an experimental paradigm to measure imagination

A Mozhdehfarahbakhsh, L Hecker, E Joos… - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
During visual imagination, a perceptual representation is activated in the absence of
sensory input. This is sometimes described as seeing with the mind's eye. A number of …

Individual differences point to two separate processes involved in the resolution of binocular rivalry

JW Brascamp, CS Qian, DZ Hambrick… - Journal of …, 2019 - jov.arvojournals.org
Although binocular rivalry is different from other perceptually bistable phenomena in
requiring interocular conflict, it also shares numerous features with those phenomena. This …

Intraindividual consistency between auditory and visual multistability

W Einhäuser, LFO da Silva, A Bendixen - Perception, 2020 - journals.sagepub.com
We compared perceptual multistability across modalities, using a visual plaid pattern

A genome-wide association study reveals a substantial genetic basis underlying the Ebbinghaus illusion

Z Zhu, B Chen, R Na, W Fang, W Zhang… - Journal of Human …, 2021 - nature.com
The Ebbinghaus illusion (EI) is an optical illusion of relative size perception that reflects the
contextual integration ability in the visual modality. The current study investigated the …

Research on stereoscopic visual masking in binocular combination and unconscious rivalry

K Zheng, Y Zhang, C Yang, J Liu - Multimedia Tools and Applications, 2024 - Springer
Visual masking plays a crucial role in optimizing distortion position and intensity in
information hiding. However, existing studies on stereoscopic visual masking effects are …

Interictal Activity Is Associated With Slower Binocular Rivalry in Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy

Fluctuations of consciousness, mood, and science: The interhemispheric switch and sticky switch models two decades on

SM Miller - Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Science and medicine aim to identify verifiable and replicable truths. However, the paths to
such truths are frequently characterized by swinging pendulums of opposing perspectives …
