Abstract
Ambiguous visual stimuli, and in particular binocular rivalry, provide a great experimental tool to study the neural basis of conscious vision. When viewed continuously, such stimuli cause the perceptual state of the observer to alternate between the two possible interpretations despite
unchanged visual input. A great number of neuroimaging studies linked bi-stable perception to activity in lower-level sensory, but also higher-level attention-related areas of the brain such as parietal and frontal regions. In this talk, we will discuss a series of studies from our lab that used fMRI, TMS and tDCS trying to understand how different brain areas contribute to transforming the constant sensory input into a changing perceptual experience.
