An Accumulating Neural Signal Underlying Binocular Rivalry Dynamics.

Journal of Neuroscience December 13, 2023 Shaozhi Nie, Sucharit Katyal, Stephen A Engel

During binocular rivalry, conflicting images are presented one to each eye and perception alternates stochastically between them. Despite stable percepts between alternations, modeling suggests that neural signals representing the two images change gradually, and that the duration of stable percepts are determined by the time required for these signals to reach a threshold that triggers an...
