..We found the same pattern of dominance as for the context experiment, indicating that perceived and true speed influence rivalry in the same manner. We propose a Bayesian interpretation of the perceived speed illusion...

..These can now be seen as the envelope of the direct effects from interocular suppression and the indirect effect from binocular summation, which contaminates the signal channel with a mask that has been suppressed by the target...

..This calculation provides an operational index of clinical binocular function, but does not assess whether neuronal mechanisms for binocular summation of contrast remain intact. This study was conducted to investigate this question...

..Our findings demonstrate that human vision integrates information across space, time, and phase to select the input most likely to hold behavioral relevance...

..This implies a behavioural influence from monocular noise in the amblyopic visual system as well as in normal observers with an ND filter over one eye...

..Since dichoptic masking has been localised to the monocular neurons of V1, this is a plausible first stage of binocular rivalry...

..However, the small levels of non-stationarity (SD≈0.8dB) meant that the difference between the estimates was, in practice, negligible...

..Importantly, this model--applied to conditions with vertical disparity--has only a single (zero) disparity channel and embodies both fusion and suppression processes within a single framework...

..A review of evidence from elsewhere leads us to favor the two-stage model...

..These results also reveal a previously unrecognized similarity between surround suppression and crowding (Pelli, Palomares, & Majaj, 2004)...

..This suggests an image-processing role for interocular XOS that is tailored to natural image statistics-very different from that of the scale-dependent (speed-dependent) monocular variety...

..These results show that performance measures and perception (contrast discrimination and contrast matching) can be understood in the same theoretical framework for binocular contrast vision...

..We discuss the relation between these results and luminance nonlinearities such as a logarithmic transform, as well as the involvement of contemporary model architectures of binocular vision...

..In particular, the output of monocular channels may be available to perceptual decision making at low spatial frequencies...

....

..Overall, we find evidence that perception of bistable motion can be modulated by information from spatially adjacent regions, and changes to the retinal image caused by blinks and saccades...

..A new behavioural technique solves a long-standing puzzle of binocular suppression, demonstrating that adapting reciprocal inhibition governs visual sensitivity and raising key questions about visual awareness...

..According to this model, the visual processes revealed by masking, adaptation, and summation are related but not identical...

..To encompass both the threshold and suprathreshold transfer properties of peripheral vision, we propose a model in terms of the contrast gain of the underlying mechanisms...
