Binocular rivalry and perceptual multi-stability.
When different images are presented to the two eyes, binocular rivalry can occur - that is, perceptual alternations between the two monocular images (bi-stability) or between more than two percepts comprised of complementary portions of the two images (multi-stability). A recent paper reports important findings about the dynamics of multi-stable alternations in binocular rivalry.
