(a) The principle of flash facilitation in binocular rivalry. If a vertical grating is briefly flashed to one eye, it will become initially dominant when binocular rivalry is instigated after a short blank. Stimulation is depicted in the top row and perception in brain icons in the bottom row. (b) Flash suppression. If the flashed grating stimulus is presented to one of the eyes for longer durations, it will initially be suppressed at the onset of rivalry. The distinction between initial percept choice at the onset of binocular rivalry and perceptual alternations upon prolonged viewing is also depicted in these panels.
