Binocular rivalry summary statistics and correlations

Variable Test Retest Reliability Twin correlations
Mean (SD) Range Mean (SD) Range Within-test r (95% CI) Between-test r (95% CI) MZ r (95% CI) DZ r (95% CI)
Binocular rivalry rate, Hz 0.54 (0.15) 0.08–1.32 0.53 (0.16) 0.21–1.04 0.93 (0.92–0.94) 0.70 (0.58–0.78) 0.51 (0.37–0.62) 0.19 (0.07–0.31)

All mean, SD, and range values are before winsorization. Data were winsorized to ± 3.3 SD before (i) reliability and twin maximum likelihood correlation analyses, (ii) preliminary analyses for genetic modeling, and (iii) genetic modeling. Mixed hits and mixed time were categorized for correlation analyses because of non-normal distribution (thresholds were set that divided each variable into three categories of approximately equal size based on scores from the first test occasion). Exclusive binocular rivalry was achieved successfully, indicated by comparison of mixed hits/time with the hits/time associated with vertical (V) and horizontal (H) grating percepts, for which the Test group means, SD, and ranges are, respectively: V hits, 189.0, 64.3, 18–516; V time, 353.0, 61.8, 84.1–547.1; H hits, 188.9, 64.3, 19–514; H time, 339.1, 61.8, 109.3–549.8.
