Binocular Rivalry Polygraph
Stoneybrook P.S.
Binocular rivalry occurs when each eye sees a different image. During rivalry, one image is seen for a few moments then the brain switches to the other image. Is it possible to measure the process of binocular rivalry? Can certain image attributes such as, colour, size, detail, and position, influence binocular rivalry? Using my Binocular Rivalry Polygraph (BRP) model, I intended to test these questions.
