| Key findings | The volume presents binocular rivalry as a model phenomenon for studying visual consciousness, assembling historical, psychophysical, electrophysiological, brain-imaging, brain-stimulation, clinical, and computational perspectives. The editors position it as the first collected volume on binocular rivalry in nearly a decade and as a foundation for a forthcoming volume on phenomenal consciousness. |
Abstract
This volume examines the neuroscience of visual consciousness, drawing on the phenomenon of binocular rivalry. It provides overviews of brain structure and function, the visual system, and neuroscientific methodologies, and then focuses on binocular rivalry from multiple perspectives: historical, psychophysical, electrophysiological, brain-imaging, brain stimulation, clinical and computational, with a glimpse also into the future of research in this exciting field. This is the first collected volume on binocular rivalry in nearly a decade and will be of special interest to researchers, scholars and students in the vision sciences, and more broadly in the psychological and clinical sciences. In addition, it lays foundations for a forthcoming interdisciplinary volume in this series on the constitution of phenomenal consciousness, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the science and philosophy of consciousness.
