Figure 3: Analysis of binocular rivalry dynamics.

A) A typical transition path of a single trial for one participant classified into 6 classic perceptual states (‘L’ left-tilted exclusive, ‘R’ right-tilted exclusive, ‘PM’ piecemeal, ‘ES’ equal superimposition, ‘LS’ left-tilted predominant superimposition, ‘RS’ left-tilted predominant superimposition) changes across time. B) Mean transition path for each participant during the low contrast conditions were then used to estimate the most likely transition path (C) calculated by a hidden Markov model. D) Cross-correlation for one participant as a function of lag between actual and model data. Maximum correlation coefficient, r, and its lag location relative to the optimum 0 lag as well as the estimated area under the curve (AUC) are included. E) Cross-correlations for each individual during the low contrast condition. F) Transition probability chain plot averaged across trials and participants for the low contrast condition.
