Abstract
• We studied what stimulus features count as salient in binocular rivalry.
• We found that motion is very salient and is a determining factor in the ocular dominance pattern in binocular rivalry.
• We arrive at a model of binocular rivalry involving three layers.

Studies on binocular rivalry
• Studies on binocular rivalry has been conducted in an “all-or-none” paradigm, neglecting the spatial heterogeneity of the dominance pattern.
• Here, we investigate the spatio-temporal structure of ocular dominance pattern in binocular rivalry.

Methods (2/2)• Stimulus we used were:
– Circles moving at a speed of 2.2 degrees/s
– Stationary circles
• We presented rivalrous images to each eyes (visual angle 11 degrees) with Crystal Eyes (StereoGraphics Corporation, Washington D.C., US).
• Monitor: FlexScan E67T (Eizo) at 150 frames/s.

Visual awareness in binocular rivalry• Both of the moving circles were always
present in visual awareness– Down to 0.3 degrees per second– Up to 20 degrees per second
• Sometimes one or both of the stationary circles disappeared from visual awareness

Quantitative Analysis
• Subjects were requested to report the perceived color at the position of an indicator which flashed in several position on the screen.

Summary of results
• The spatio-temporal dominance pattern was strongly influenced by the presence of moving circles.
• The visual system behaves as dynamical adaptive system to represent the salient features at any given psychological moment.

Results
• The effective range of moving circle was about 2.2 degrees, namely the effect of salient features remained for about 1 second.
• The salient feature only had effect on the subsequent visual awareness.
• The prediction had no effect on determining the ocular dominance pattern.
