Indeed, even the competing stimuli are switched rapidly between the two eyes in humans, binocular rivalry still produced its normal slow alternation of perceptions. The discovered persistence of gradually dynamical rivalrous perceptions when stimuli are switched powerfully suggests that binocular rivalry occurs as a consequence of alternate stimulus representations compete within the visual pathway. Binocular rivalry thus affords an opportunity to study how the visual system decides what people see even when both eyes see the almost same thing (23). However, a general, non-selective reduction in affectability during the suppression of a stimulus is not selective to binocular rivalry, but rather can likewise occur when seeing (non-dichoptically) ambiguous figures (“Single Units”
