It has been fifty years since Levelt's monograph On Binocular Rivalry (1965) was published,
but its four propositions that describe the relation between stimulus strength and the …

Progress in the science of consciousness depends on the experimental paradigms and
varieties of contrastive analysis available to researchers. Here we highlight paradigms …

Abstract Changes in pupil size at constant light levels reflect the activity of neuromodulatory
brainstem centers that control global brain state. These endogenously driven pupil dynamics …

It is often assumed that adaptation—a temporary change in sensitivity to a perceptual
dimension following exposure to that dimension—is a litmus test for what is and is not a …

Conscious perception sometimes fluctuates strongly, even when the sensory input is
constant. For example, in motion-induced blindness (MIB), a salient visual target surrounded …

Simultaneously showing an observer two incompatible displays, one to each eye, causes
binocular rivalry, during which the observer regularly switches between perceiving one eye's …

Polar angle asymmetries (PAAs), the differences in perceptual experiences and
performance across different regions of the visual field are present in various paradigms and …

Although binocular rivalry is different from other perceptually bistable phenomena in
requiring interocular conflict, it also shares numerous features with those phenomena. This …

Highlights•The color appearance of a surface depends not only on its local chromaticity but
also on contextual information.•Local and contextual influences on color appearance …

Viewing a rapid sequence of face images shown in the periphery can lead to large
caricature-like distortions in the perceived images, a phenomenon known as the Flashed …
