  abstract = {When different images are presented to the two eyes, they compete
	for perceptual dominance, such that one image is visible while the
	other is suppressed. This binocular rivalry is thought to reflect
	competition between monocular neurons within the primary visual cortex.
	However, neurons whose activity correlates with perception during
	rivalry are found mainly in higher cortical areas, and respond to
	input from both eyes. Thus rivalry may involve competition between
	alternative perceptual interpretations at a higher level of analysis.
	To investigate this, we tested the effect of rapidly alternating
	the rival stimuli between the two eyes. Under these conditions, the
	perceptual alternations exhibit the same temporal dynamics as with
	static patterns, and a single phase of perceptual dominance can span
	multiple alternations of the stimuli. Thus neural representations
	of the two stimuli compete for visual awareness independently of
	the eye through which they reach the higher visual areas. This finding
	places binocular rivalry in the general category of multistable phenomena,
	such as ambiguous figures, and provides a new way to study the neural
	cause and resolution of perceptual ambiguities.},
