A new no-report paradigm reveals that face cells encode both consciously perceived and suppressed stimuli

JK Hesse, DY Tsao - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
A powerful paradigm to identify neural correlates of consciousness is binocular rivalry,

GABAergic inhibition gates perceptual awareness during binocular rivalry

J Mentch, A Spiegel, C Ricciardi… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Binocular rivalry is a classic experimental tool to probe the neural machinery of perceptual

Binocular rivalry from invisible patterns

J Zou, S He, P Zhang - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Binocular rivalry arises when incompatible images are presented to the two eyes. If the two
