The preferred percept, i.e., the overall more predominant percept for a given observer. A, The proportion of presentations on which the preferred percept was experienced, collapsed across blank durations. The preferred percept dominates more during blocks of hMT+ TMS than during other blocks, consistent with weaker perceptual memory in that condition. B, The proportion of dominance of the preferred percept as a function of the sequence number within a block with a given TMS condition (each block consisted of five such sequences) (Fig. 1). The proportion systematically falls from sequence to sequence within blocks with no TMS or vertex TMS (cf. Fig. 4B), but not during blocks of hMT+ TMS, indicative of a disruption of memory buildup. Error bars are SEs of the sample mean; only upward bars shown to avoid clutter. Lines are fitted regression lines.
